Did someone say accountability of MPD spending?! Well you're in luck because we've got the solution for you; the Civilian Police Accountability Commission (CPAC). This body, that we are proposing to change the charter to create, would have full power and control over MPD spending. No longer would the mayor be able to lie about trying to keep Minneapolis "safe" to justify overspending their budget by $20 million dollars while simultaneously failing to protect residents like Mariah Samuels, Allison Lussier, and Davis Moturi. No longer would the elected officials charged with overseeing police spending be allowed to skip city council budgetery meetings to avoid accountability.

To realize CPAC in Minneapolis, we need to collect nearly 11,000 signatures to get the amendment on the ballot. So come out and see us at these events to learn more about CPAC and sign the petition! Also, if you've previously signed but moved addresses, come sign again to make sure your signature counts!"

Minneapolis for Community Control of the Police Statement on MPD’s progress on the state consent decree.

Last month, Effective Law Enforcement for All (ELEFA) released a damning report detailing MPD’s failure to meet goals as outlined by the state’s consent decree.

The report highlights a pattern of delayed action on internal affairs cases, conflicts of interest in investigations, and inaction from the disgraced former Chief of Police, Brian O’Hara, who suddenly resigned in late May.

The court-enforceable consent decree was enacted between the City of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights following the murder of George Floyd 2020.

MDHR identified patterns of racial discrimination and disproportionate use of force on people of color by the Minneapolis Police Department.

ELEFA, a non-profit organization made up of current and former police and police allies, was hired by the City of Minneapolis to provide so-called ‘independent’ oversight over MPD’s compliance with the consent decree.

ELEFA was approved to receive up to $1.5 million dollars per year from Minneapolis taxpayers for overseeing this settlement.

If an organization of cops and cop-supporters will publish a report this critical of the Minneapolis Police Department, we have to wonder how bad things really are.

This report comes as no surprise. We cannot trust police to police themselves, just as much as we cannot trust them to keep our communities safe.

The City of Minneapolis needs real police accountability. Not another toothless review board, not another series of symbolic but ultimately inconsequential reforms.

We need real political power over the police, through an all-elected civilian police accountability commission.
