Don't forget that Minneapolis also has the Minneapolis Park Police, and their numbers are not included in the count because they are a separate police department. They are Minneapolis Police, but they don't report to the Minneapolis Chief because they are Park Board police. But they do respond to some city calls (wasn't a Park squad involved in the Alfred Flowers incident)? And wasn't there some deal with the Mpls Schools to have Park Police act as school liaison officers? Doesn't all this, somehow, up the numbers? I know the Mayor would like to merge the two departments which would save money and increase street patrol numbers. (you can ask me offline about my opinions about that).
