Description

Minneapolis police could get a raise of more than 21 percent if their next three-year contract is approved by the City Council. By next summer, they'd be among the highest paid officers in the state. The union, the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, ratified an agreement with the city late Monday night with a vote of 301 to 63. The earliest that city council members could vote on the contract would be next week. And in the past, their votes on police contracts have been split, with some members of the council pushing for reforms to hold officers accountable for misconduct. The Minneapolis Police Department is currently working under a contract that was adopted in early 2022 and expired later that year. Joining MPR News Guest Host Nina Moini to talk about the tentative agreement is Councilmember Robin Wonsley, who represents Ward 2 on the east side of the city.
