Cottage Grove's First Police Officer

This history piece takes us back to the early 1960's when Cottage Grove first began building homes along highway 61 in the Thompson Grove neighborhood. We meet Ray Nelson who became the first police officer in town and find out what law enforcement was like in the early years in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
