Useful information:

  • Emergency lock boxes: St. Louis Park Fire Department offers emergency lock boxes for a one-time subscription fee of $50. The lockbox contains a key to the home that can be accessed only by a special key carried by police and fire personnel. If in an emergency resident cannot unlock door, firefighters or police officers can open the door with a key instead of forcing the door open and causing damage and additional cost. Board approved to allow such boxes to be installed on the outside of the door in the top left or right corner. For further information visit www.stlouispark.org/lockbox or call the fire department at 952-924-2595.
