April Civic Buzz: Training for Ethical Police Practices
Check out the video of this April 9th event
Public concern about law enforcement training and practices has grown, especially after Operation Metro Surge when ICE & other federal agents used excessive force, conducted dangerous vehicle pursuits, made aggressive stops and arrests, and engaged 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 Mpls Police Department preparing both new and veteran officers to meet the new standards of non‑discriminatory policing outlined in MPD's Settlement Agreement with the MN Dept of Human Rights?
Guest Speaker: Commander Kris Brown, Training Division, Minneapolis Police Department
- Date: April 9, 2026
- Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
- Plymouth Congregational Church, 1919 LaSalle Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403
This event is free and open to the public!
Commander Kris Brown, a 26‑year MPD veteran who now leads the department's Training Division, will join us to explore these issues and discuss how MPD is working to build a more accountable and community‑centered approach to policing.Co-hosted by Plymouth ReImagining Community Safety Group (RiCS)
