Public forum on proposed changes to police oversight structure

Residents are invited to join Minneapolis City staff and officials to hear about proposed changes to the community role in the City’s police oversight structure.

A public forum virtual session is at 6-7:30 p.m. on Monday, November 28. Join the virtual session on Microsoft Teams.

The City Council’s Public Health and Safety Committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 30 following public forums.

The proposed Community Commission on Police Oversight would serve as a single community-driven group responsible for the civilian roles in reviewing misconduct investigations, and providing the public  oversight body for transparent discussions on policing practices, presentations from City officials or staff, and community input.

The goal of these reforms is to increase transparency, and the ability for commissioners to effectively monitor and identify policing patterns, trends and outcomes for discussion at public meetings of the full commission. Info: minneapolismn.gov.
