MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The City of Minneapolis, community organizations and state, local and federal law enforcement agencies have teamed up to prevent violence while protecting peaceful protesters during the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd in May 2020.
Representatives from law enforcement agencies including the Minneapolis Police Department, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota spoke Monday at a news conference in Minneapolis to discuss "Operation Safety Net," the multi-agency response plan designed to maintain control and protect the public during the trial.
