A Minneapolis City Council committee is recommending that the city of Minneapolis release $5 million in overtime funds for the Minneapolis Police Department in order to offset cuts made to law enforcement last year, as the city sinks deeper into a violent crime wave.
“Police Chief Medaria Arradondo told council members the money would help cover a small percentage of the overtime shifts needed amid an officer shortage and costs associated with the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd,” the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Friday.
