The Minneapolis Police Department announced on Tuesday who will serve on newly established oversight committees that aim to increase the department’s accountability.
The committees’ makeup, which will include police officers and community members, was discussed at a Police Conduct Oversight Commission meeting, just weeks after the U.S. Department of Justice recommended the creation of the committees.
A steering committee and five subcommittees will oversee MPD’s practices, including communication, oversight, community relations and coaching.
