The deal incorporates and builds on changes the Minneapolis Police Department has made since the death of George Floyd.

The Minneapolis City Council has approved a consent decree agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that will implement major reform within the Minneapolis Police Department. The agreement comes after a two-year investigation from the DOJ into the MPD's patterns and practices.

The DOJ announced Minneapolis agreed to make systemic reforms to its police department after the 2020 murder of George Floyd sparked a federal probe.
