“Intentionally selecting the next chief of police is among the most consequential decisions before our city,” Frey said. “The more voices centered and heard in the search process, the better we will be for it. I’m grateful for Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw’s leadership in organizing and hosting these events to engage community members across Minneapolis.”
“The next chief of police will be instrumental in shaping the future of MPD,” Vetaw said. “It is important that community members have an opportunity to weigh in with their feedback and vision. I am looking forward to hearing from and engaging with residents about this very important hire.”
