FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Police Department hires new patrol officers
Edina, Minn., Jan. 23, 2014 – Michael Sussman and Anna Limbeck were recently sworn in as the Edina
Police Department’s newest officers.
Limbeck began work as a Police Officer Jan. 21 and Sussman began work on Jan. 22. City Clerk Debra Mangen
administered the oath to the two on Jan. 23. Surrounded by their families, Sussman’s father, Harvey, pinned
his badge, No. 115 and Limbeck’s father, Edina Police Officer Marc Limbeck, pinned her badge, No. 112.
Sussman graduated with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from St. Cloud State University. Since, Sussman
has worked as a police officer for the Minnetrista, Brooklyn Park, Mound and, most recently, Orono police
departments. While with the Mound Police Department, Sussman held the position of sergeant for eight
years. He also helped to organize the Police Department’s first Explorers program in 2008.
Limbeck got her associate degree in law enforcement from Inver Hills Community College, and is currently
working toward completing a bachelor’s degree in police science from Saint Mary’s University. Limbeck
started her career with the Lakeville Police Department as a community service officer, before beginning as a
sworn police officer nearly two years ago.
“I’ve grown up wanting to be a police officer,” said Limbeck. “Police work, and the Edina Police Department,
has always played a role in my life and I look forward to working for a police department that shares my same
values.”
“Our department has high expectations of our officers, and I’m confident both Sussman and Limbeck will
certainly meet those expectations,” said Interim Police Chief Dave Nelson. “We’re happy to have them join
the team.”
