Minneapolis Approves Court-Enforceable Policing Reform Plan.
The Minneapolis City Council has approved a settlement agreement that includes a pathway to fix the process that prosecutors use to track officers with credibility issues. The city must now use a sophisticated “Early Intervention System” that tracks a multitude of information about an officer’s credibility. The system will create a database of misconduct that is broader and more systematic than anything the police department or the city had in place previously. The city attorney’s office will have automatic access to misconduct records within the police department to enhance the process.
