The Minneapolis City Council has taken a decisive step towards police reform by unanimously voting to overhaul the police department in response to persistent systemic abuses.
Under the newly approved consent decree, the Minneapolis police will be held accountable through rigorous tracking of misconduct allegations, a reduction in force usage, and improved training.
Mayor Jacob Frey emphasized the importance of the agreement, noting that it reflects community demands for accountability and real change in policing practices.
The push for a consent decree followed a DOJ report detailing severe abuses within the Minneapolis Police Department, particularly against Black and Native American communities.
