The Brooklyn Center City Council voted Saturday to establish a broad slate of public safety policies, including a new community response department to respond to certain noncriminal calls.
The resolution, first put forward by Mayor Mike Elliott, is named after Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler, who were both killed by police in Brooklyn Center.
The resolution establishes a new unarmed “Community Response Department” to respond to citizens experiencing “medical, mental health, disability-related, or other behavioral or social need.”
