Judge Orders Minneapolis to Staff Police
Description
A judge has ordered Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to hire more police officers, citing a city charter requirement of at least 731 officers — a number the city has failed to meet for years. The ruling, a writ of mandamus, legally compels the mayor to either prove compliance by January 4, 2027, or justify the shortfall. While the city boasts record hiring and a more diverse force, the lawsuit argues residents deserve the safety guaranteed by the charter. The clock is ticking — and the court won’t wait.
