Todd Milburn Tabbed to Lead Edina Police
Edina, Minn., Aug. 11, 2021 – A veteran of nearly 30 years in one of Minnesota’s largest and most diverse cities, Todd Milburn has been selected as the next Chief of the Edina Police
Department, City Manager Scott Neal announced.
Milburn, who comes to Edina after a distinguished career in Brooklyn Park, begins his duties Monday, Aug. 16.
“I’m looking forward to Todd joining our executive leadership team and leading our Police Department,” Neal said. “He has the right combination of law enforcement experience and outstanding
communication skills. I think he’s going to do great work in Edina.”
Milburn has served as the Deputy Chief since 2014 in Brooklyn Park, where he has worked his way up the ranks after beginning his career as a Community Service Officer in 1992. Among

taken me on in this role, and I’m going to give all my effort to continue to advance the department in contemporary policing, focusing on the team dynamic of the employees of the police
