The city of Minneapolis has agreed to implement systemic reforms within its police department following a federal investigation post the murder of George Floyd.
A consent decree has been established, which is a court-enforceable agreement aimed at preventing the excessive use of force and racial discrimination.
An independent monitor will oversee the compliance with the decree and report on the city’s progress.
Similar agreements have been reached in other cities, reflecting a trend in the DOJ's renewed commitment to address systemic police issues.
The consent decree is pending court approval and aims to prioritize de-escalation in police interactions and improve community relations.
