MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A report released this week found that Minneapolis police often mishandled officer discipline cases in past years.
The report was issued by Effective Law Enforcement for All (ELEFA), the group responsible for monitoring the policing agreement between the city of Minneapolis and the state’s human rights department.
It found that Minneapolis police in the past often wrongly routed discipline cases to coaching rather than harsher discipline, and that cases often went unresolved for long periods of time.
