Minneapolis City Council Greenlights Amendment To Dismantle Police

The transcript discusses an amendment that removes the requirement for a city to have a Police Department, proposing its replacement with the Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. This new department aims to oversee public safety with a public health approach, marking a structural change towards a holistic safety strategy. The amendment requires a director with non-law enforcement experience and allows a law enforcement division under new supervision. It must be reviewed by a Policy Committee and the city's Charter Commission before potentially appearing on the general election ballot.
