Representing police officers up to the rank of lieutenant who are employed by the City of Minneapolis Do not use this page to report a crime.
Since 1972, the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis has represented police officers up to the rank of lieutenant who are employed by the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Currently the Federation has more than 800 members and is the largest non-affiliated law enforcement union in the state of Minnesota. Always with the goal of working toward a safer, more liv

The POFM is pleased the MPD contract was approved today. The approval process for the police contract has been unlike any other City contract. The men and women of the MPD have gone too long without a contract. They have gone far too long for competitive wages. They have waited far too long for council approval. We believe this contract will help MPD recruit and retain officers and help rebuild the MPD.
We would like to thank the community for their support of the MPD and for their support of the contract. We appreciate those who took the time to show up at the AEO meetings and those who contacted their City Council members to voice their support.

Twins memorialize fallen Minneapolis PD officer during pregame ceremony In a heartfelt ceremony on Wednesday night, the Minnesota Twins remembered fallen Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell – at a game he was meant to be at.
We just received notification that Council person Wonsley has cancelled the meeting tomorrow citing lack of a quorum. Attached is her letter:
“Dear community,
The city and the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis (POFM) reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement for the Minneapolis police contract. I chair the Administration and Enterprise Oversight (AEO) Committee, which includes oversight and approval of all the city's labor contracts.
I know that the police contract is extremely important to many residents because of its impacts on the city’s overall public safety system, police recruitment and retention efforts, police accountability, and budgetary impacts. My goal was to ensure that the AEO Committee meetings created ample time for Council Members to discuss the contract with city staff and experts in public, as well as provide accessible opportunities for community members to learn about the contract and share their thoughts.
Unfortunately, earlier this afternoon I was alerted that the AEO Committee would not have enough members to meet quorum tomorrow morning, where we were scheduled to receive presentations on the contract and hear public comment. This means the AEO Committee meeting tomorrow will not have enough members to conduct committee business and the meeting must be canceled.
To accommodate this last-minute news, the schedule for the contract will move forward as follows:
*AEO Meeting June 18th at 10am: Canceled due to the lack of a quorum
*Adjourned AEO Meeting on June 25th at 5pm will have the full agenda. This will include:
Presentation by city staff on the police contract
Presentation by Minneapolis for a Better Police Contract
Public comment. Each testifier will be given two minutes each to share their comments about the police contract with the Committee.
Testimony will likely begin closer to 6pm and members of the public are welcome to arrive at any time to listen and/or testify.
Public comment can be submitted in writing at any time to [email protected]
I am also working to provide an additional public comment period before the contract appears on the Council agenda for final approval on June 27th, and will share updates.
I hope to see many of you on June 25th at 5pm at the Temporary Council Chambers in the Public Service Center (250 S 4th St. Room 350)
Sincerely,
Council Member Robin Wonsley”
