Tonight, the Jordan City Council passed an amendment to the local law enforcement mutual aid pact.

The agreement provides for Belle Plaine, Elko New Market, Jordan, New Prague, Prior Lake, Savage, Shakopee, Three Rivers Park District, and Scott County to assist each other by making equipment, personnel, ant other resources available throughout the rest of the county. 

The council voted unanimously in favor of the amendment, due primarily to the addition of Three Rivers to the agreement and the fact that the cities of Elko and New Market have consolidated from two cities into one.
