Hello Minneapolis Folks:
The Mayor and Council have an excellent opportunity to hire a Chief that will work to make the department reflect the population it serves. The city must find a Chief from within or outside the department that has such qualities, and with such leadership we may begin to have officers that decide live in the city they serve.
I wish more officers would choose to live in the city they receive a pay check from. It is hard to take officers seriously when they live in Wisconson or Elk River. I still can't believe that a Minneapolis Police Officer said to me, "If you don't like it (crime), why do you live here?" That is like telling a customer unhappy with their food at a restaurant if you don't like the it, why do you eat here? I doubt a restaurant owner would keep such an employee around very long and we don't need officers with that same attitude working in our city.
Respectfully,
