On patrol
Chauvin joined the Minneapolis Police Department in 2001. Within five years he was recommended for a Medal of Valour following the shooting death of Wayne Reyes, a stabbing suspect who fled in his truck with officers in pursuit. Police said Reyes pointed a shotgun toward Chauvin and five other officers. They all fired on Reyes, killing him.
Chauvin’s one disciplinary action came in 2007 from a woman he had stopped for going 16km/h over the speed limit. She said he frisked her and put her in his police car. Chauvin got a letter of reprimand for his handling of the stop and for not turning on his recording equipment.
