Murders have doubled in Minneapolis since 2020, and yet city Democrats are worried about finding more bureaucrats to babysit their police department.

The Minneapolis Police Department welcomed its largest group of new hires in five years on Tuesday. "I chose Minneapolis because I believe that Minneapolis is a community that needs officers that help regain that community trust, so, here I am," one recruit said.

The Minneapolis police chief says his department is at a turning point. Tuesday night's ceremony to welcome new recruits comes just a day after a historic reform agreement. Our Frankie McLister was there.

The DOJ announced Minneapolis agreed to make systemic reforms to its police department after the 2020 murder of George Floyd sparked a federal probe.

Minneapolis is poised to become the U.S. Justice Department’s 16th under federal consent decree for police reform.

The newly unveiled federal consent decree for the Minneapolis Police Department calls for a lot of the same changes as an earlier state reform plan — but the oversight document does include some new requirements.

With only two weeks left in the Biden administration, officials hurried to finalize a plan in the city where George Floyd was murdered.

The federal consent decree, which contains many of the same proposed mandates as the city’s agreement with the state, requires the city of Minneapolis to consider policing alternatives meant to reduce racial disparities.
