The extensive, federal civil rights investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department is expected to take months to finish, but people who ve been through the process warn the reform efforts that could follow are long, drawn-out endeavors that cost millions of dollars over time.
The pattern and practice investigation, launched in April by the United States Department of Justice, will examine issues with discriminatory policing, use of force and other systematic problems within MPD.
A decade ago, the feds launched a similar investigation into the police department in Albuquerque, New Mexico and found that officers routinely used excessive and deadly force against its citizens.

Investigators with the United States Department of Justice will pull from the experiences of community members and will examine past incidents to determine if systemic issues exist within the Minneapolis Police Department, according to families and community members who are familiar with the process.
In April, the DOJ launched a pattern and practice investigation into MPD. Attorney General, Merrick Garland, said the feds would look into use of force incidents, as well as other discriminatory policing. The announcement came the day after a jury found ex-MPD officer Derek Chauvin guilty in the death of George Floyd.
In a virtual community meeting Wednesday, staff from the Justice Department stressed that community input is crucial to the investigation, saying those voices and experiences are critical to get to the truth of policing in Minneapolis.
