Minnesota Leg. To Discuss Police Reforms

A package of police reforms is heading to the legislative floor in Minnesota.

Legislative leaders agreed Saturday on the measures, likely to reach the House floor on Tuesday.

It came a day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22 1/2 years for his role in the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

It includes 911 operators being able to refer calls to mental health crisis teams when necessary.

There are new rules around no-knock warrants.

Left out were measures that prohibit police from stopping vehicles for minor infractions.

A requirement that officers release body camera footage to family members within 48 hours when someone is killed by police was also left out of the final proposed bill.
