Community listening sessions scheduled to inform new police chief search

/

Community listening sessions held in each of the City’s five police precincts will help inform the search process for the next Minneapolis police chief. City Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw, chair of the City Council’s Public Health & Safety Committee and member of the Mayor’s Police Chief Search Committee, is working with the Mayor and the search committee on the series of sessions.

The community feedback, guidance and perspective received during these sessions will be an integral piece in the creation of the position profile and will inform the entire search process for the new police chief.

Council Member Elliott Payne will attend the session on Wednesday, April 27 from 6-7:30 PM at the Logan Park building, 690 13th Ave. NE.
