Minneapolis Community Safety Commissioner Cedric Alexander Announces Retirement

Dr. Cedric Alexander, the Community Safety Commissioner of Minneapolis, has announced his retirement, leaving behind a role tasked with overseeing multiple departments, including police, fire, and 911. During his tenure, Alexander launched the "Operation Endeavor" initiative, which successfully reduced gun violence in the city. However, frustration and concerns have arisen as community leaders feel that the city is not ready for the necessary change in public safety. The Minneapolis police union blames the city's "backward ways" for Alexander's departure. His retirement is set for September 1, and the city will outline a transition plan in the coming weeks.
