This week, the Duluth City Council unanimously approved adding a third deputy police chief tasked with, among other things, a focus on police accountability.
But Jamey Sharp, the founder of what he calls the grassroots data group LEANDuluth, says whether it s 50 new deputy chiefs or one new chief, it doesn t matter if they re not willing to look outside the police department itself for answers.
He s particularly concerned about use of force incidents from 2019, which showed police employing force with Black Duluthians 19 times more often than with white residents, and ten times more often with Native Americans.

St. Landry Parish Sheriff s deputies are now certified in three less-lethal options following a month-long training on use of force.
The Sheriff s Office says the additional training tools will help the deputies further resolve conflicts that might arise before a firearm is used.
âI saw a need to reallocate funds and grants to purchase additional options that are now available and issue them to my deputies for a less-than-lethal way to resolve a conflict,â said Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz.
