Because an applicant must have licensure from the MN POST Board (Police
Officer Standards and Training) or reciprocity from the military/or
another state, Law enforcement classes must be from one of the
college/schools approved by the Minnesota Professional Peace Officer
Education Program. See the list at MN POST website
http://www.dps.state.mn.us/newpost/PPOE%20Programs.htm.
To increase the number of Minneapolis residents, have the Legislature
exempt the city of Minneapolis from State POST Board requirements. A neat
trick if you can do it and a step backwards in employment standards.
OR
Start recruiting in all the high schools and set up a scholarship fund to
send graduates to college for training and licensing with the agreement that
they will serve on the Minneapolis Police Department for 5 years after
graduation. A mini form of ROTC, if you will. That way you get a police
force with ties to the community and you don't have to bend any rules or
change state law.
