Mayor Jacob Frey and city of Minneapolis officials announced a new police recruitment campaign reaching a range of 300 miles after losing more than 300 officers since 2020.
The Minneapolis police department has seen a significant drop in sworn officers while funding remains nearly the same more than three years after the death of George Floyd and the start of the movement to shift resources away from police.
Officials say there is no danger to the public, but they ask that everyone avoid the area near the intersection of 190th Ave Northeast and Glendorado Road.
The U.S. Attorney General reversed an earlier decision, deciding instead to not seek the death penalty for the Minnesota man convicted in the Dru Sjodin kidnapping and murder.
