Lessons from other cities for Minneapolis' police consent decree.
TL;DR
Minneapolis City Council is researching the potential costs of implementing the recent consent decree agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, which found a pattern of racial bias and excessive force by Minneapolis police. The city is expected to spend millions of dollars, possibly between $8 and $10 million a year, to hire a team of staff to oversee the reform of the Minneapolis Police Department. Mayor Jacob Frey will submit his proposed 2024 budget to the City Council on August 15.
