“#Minneapolis to spend $6.4 million to hire more cops<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Minneapolis will spend $6.4 million to hire dozens more police officers after a large number of cops left the department in the aftermath of George Floyd\u2019s killing and the protests that followed.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota\u00a0city\u2019s police department said it has just 638\u00a0officers available to work, 200 fewer than in recent years, the\u00a0Star Tribune reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several cops quit, retired or went on extended medical leave, many for PTSD claims, after last spring\u2019s riots that included a precinct being burned down and calls to end the police force. Some 155 officers remain on some form of extended leave, the report said.<\/p>\n

In the months since the protests, many residents have urged the city to hire more cops, saying they\u2019re waiting longer for responses to 911 calls amid a surge of violent crime.<\/p>\n

The additional funding for the force, unanimously app<\/a>roved by the City Council on Friday, comes even as some councilmembers and activist groups are pushing to dismantle the department, saying police haven\u2019t proven effective at reducing crime.<\/p>\n

Three council members have written a proposal to replace the force with a \u201cpublic safety department\u201d that would include policing and other services.<\/p>\n

A coalition of community activists called Yes 4 Minneapolis are also working to get a similar proposal on the November ballot.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
