#830 - Big Blow to Defund the Police As Minneapolis Residents Vote Against Replacing The City's Police Dept

Despite widespread criticism of their police department and its conduct, voters in Minneapolis have decided they do not want a new model of public safety implemented in their city.

During Tuesday’s city elections, voters’ ballots included a question asking them if they want to replace the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) with a new department of public safety, which would take a “public health approach” to addressing safety issues.

56% of voters (80,506 people) rejected the ballot question.

“This should be a wakeup call to politicians who want to simply abolish and defund police department. Police officers were their communities and place public safety and justice for crime victims at the forefront of their daily actions,” a statement from the Minnesota Police & Peace Officers Association reads. “Let’s work together for increased safety for all, instead of pursuing reckless policies which only empower criminals.”
