Community engagement

You can attend a listening session put on by City Council members across Minneapolis.

Take part in the search for the next police chief

We invite you to attend a listening session hosted by City Council members. Community members and residents are welcome to share their priorities and qualities in a new police chief. 

Meeting locations were chosen across Minneapolis to make it easier for people to attend a session near them. You are welcome to attend any meeting and share your input.
