The Minneapolis Police Department welcomed its largest group of new hires in five years on Tuesday. "I chose Minneapolis because I believe that Minneapolis is a community that needs officers that help regain that community trust, so, here I am," one recruit said.

The DOJ announced Minneapolis agreed to make systemic reforms to its police department after the 2020 murder of George Floyd sparked a federal probe.

Minneapolis is poised to become the U.S. Justice Department’s 16th under federal consent decree for police reform.
