What Is the Spotlight or the Fifth Precinct?
 
The Fifth Precinct is located in Southwest Minneapolis:


It is home to many iconic landmarks of Minneapolis: Uptown; Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska), Lake Harriet, Lake of the Isles, and Cedar Lake; Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia), Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), Walker Art Museum; Eat Street... and the list goes on.
 
The Spotlight newsletter is the Fifth Precinct's chance to show you a behind the scenes look at updates on programs, seasonal crime prevention advice, articles about topics that we believe are of interest or import to the community, and we always try to include Spanish and Somali outreach.
