April Civic Buzz: Training for Ethical Police Practices

Speaker: Commander Kris Brown – Training Division, Mpls Police Dept.

Thursday, April 9, at 7 pm at Plymouth

This event is being co-sponsored by The League of Women Voters Minneapolis, and Plymouth’s ReImagining Community Safety Committee (RiCS).

Public concern about law enforcement training and practices has grown, especially after witnessing federal agents use excessive force, conduct dangerous vehicle pursuits, make aggressive stops and arrests, and engage in crowd control tactics that felt both alarming and unlawful. These moments have prompted an important question: What does ethical law enforcement look like, and how is the Minneapolis Police Department preparing both new and veteran officers to meet the standards of non‑discriminatory policing outlined in the Settlement Agreement?

Commander Kris Brown, a 26‑year MPD veteran who now leads the department’s Training Division, will join us to explore these issues and discuss how MPD is working to build a more accountable and community‑centered approach to policing.
