DOJ's Investigation into Minneapolis Police Department to be Revealed by Attorney General Garland

US Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to announce the results of an extensive investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department's use of force, which is expected to result in long-term federal court oversight of the department. The investigation took more than two years and focused on determining whether officers are violating citizens' Constitutional rights. The inquiry is expected to result in a consent decree, requiring the police department to implement changes, including stronger civilian oversight, updated use-of-force policies, and data collection to ensure policing is free from racial and ethnic bias.
