JUST PUBLISHED! Reimagining Public Safety Study
Public safety is a critical issue to Minneapolis residents. And in the November elections, public safety will be a ballot issue as we make decisions on amendments and candidates who will shape this evolving landscape. We have created a study that provides history, context, insight into reform activity needed and currently underway, an overview of the roles and players in the public safety landscape, and tips for your personal engagement.
