Minneapolis Approves Consent Decree with U.S. Justice Department Mandating Police Reforms Under Court Supervision
Jan 6, 2025, 10:00 PM
The Minneapolis City Council has approved an agreement, known as a consent decree, with the U.S. Department of Justice that mandates major reforms within the city's police department under long-term court supervision. This decision, made during a closed hearing session on Monday, comes more than four years after the murder of George Floyd and follows a federal investigation that uncovered a pattern of civil rights abuses, excessive force, and racial discrimination within the Minneapolis Police Department. The agreement aims to implement extensive changes and accountability measures to address the violations identified in the Justice Department's scathing critique released in June 2023.
