Civic Buzz: Training for Ethical Police Practices

From League of Women Voters Minneapolis (LWVMpls):

Public concern about law enforcement training and practices has grown, especially after witnessing federal agents use excessive force, conduct dangerous vehicle pursuits, make aggressive stops and arrests, and engage in crowd control tactics that felt both alarming and unlawful. These moments have prompted an important question: What does ethical law enforcement look like, and how is the Minneapolis Police Department preparing both new and veteran officers to meet the standards of non‑discriminatory policing outlined in the Settlement Agreement?

Guest Speaker: Commander Kris Brown, Training Division, Minneapolis Police Department
