Residents are invited to join City of Minneapolis staff and officials during three public forums to hear about proposed changes to the community role in the City’s police oversight structure.
The City Council’s Public Health and Safety Committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30 following the public forums. Learn more about participating in public hearings.
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 facing 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. If you need an interpreter or a disability-related accommodation, such as captioning, wheelchair accessible meeting site or materials in an alternative format, please contact Zack Farley with the City Clerk’s Office at 612-673-2216 or email zachary.farley@minneapolismn.gov by Tuesday, Nov. 15.
