Hopkins Police Heliport

Lack of operational need. There is no public record that the Hopkins Police Department ever operated its own aircraft. Police departments of its size typically rely on larger, regional agencies (like the Minnesota State Patrol or Hennepin County Sheriff's Office) for air support. The heliport was likely an informal or designated emergency landing zone that was eventually deemed unnecessary or was never formally established.

The coordinates (44.916599, -93.416901) point directly to the Hopkins Police Department building and its adjacent parking lot, located at 1010 1st St S, Hopkins, MN. There is no visible or marked infrastructure for a heliport at the site today. The area functions as the police station and a standard vehicle parking lot.

The heliport has minimal to no known historical significance. The identifier 'US-10564' is not an official FAA or ICAO code but a placeholder used by non-governmental aviation data aggregators for unverified or decommissioned sites. When notionally active, it would have served as a potential emergency landing zone for law enforcement or medical helicopters. Operations, if any ever occurred, would have been extremely infrequent. It was never a base for regular flight operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening a heliport at this location. The lack of an aviation unit within the Hopkins Police Department and the availability of other landing options for emergency services in the area make a dedicated heliport at this site unnecessary.
