Created: July 12, 2021 10:40 PM Law enforcement agencies across the country have been under the microscope over the last year, particularly after the murder of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis last year. Now, a Twin Cities suburb is taking what they call a "proactive" approach to public safety and building trust between officers and the community at large. In December, Brooklyn Park hired St. Paul-based Wilder Research to evaluate policing, community safety and violence prevention. And during a City Council meeting on Monday, the foundation presented the results. The firm pointed to three changes the city could make to improve public safety: focus on prevention, improve interventions and assess BPPD for improvements.
