Minneapolis council member Jeremiah Ellison on new police contract

Minneapolis council member Jeremiah Ellison on new police contract

On Thursday the Minneapolis City Council met in a closed-door session to talk about policing in the city. One item on the agenda was the city's tentative contract with Minneapolis police. Under the new contract police officers would receive up to $7,000 in bonuses and pay raises in an effort to increase numbers of police in the department. The contract has support from Mayor Jacob Frey but requires City Council approval. City Council member Jeremiah Ellison is chair of the Policy and Government Oversight Committee and this week he decided to delay the committee’s vote on approving the contract for 2 more weeks. He joined Cathy Wurzer to explain why.
