Good
morning
and
welcome
to
what
will
likely
be
the
final
briefing
before
the
commencement
of
the
derrick
chauvin
trial
with
jury
selection
beginning
on
monday
march,
8th
these
briefings
will
continue
very
regularly
likely
once
per
week,
and
we
will
have
even
more
frequent
frequent
briefings
as
is
required
as
the
trial
progresses
and
as
we
lead
into
both
jury
deliberations
and,
of
course,
the
verdict.
Once
again,
everyone
that
you'll
hear
from
today
is
unified
in
common
priorities,
priorities
around
safety,
retaining
and
protecting
first
amendment
rights
and
continuing
to
deliver
our
core
city
services
with
excellence.
B
We
know
that
with
the
beginning
of
this
trial,
it
also
means
an
increasing
number
of
protests,
protests
over
the
emotions
of
anger
and
fear
and
hope,
and
I
know
that
there
are
so
many
minneapolis
residents
as
well
as
visitors
that
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
making
their
voices
heard
during.
C
B
Time
in
community
over
the
past
several
weeks,
we
were
on
both
the
north
and
the
south
side
on
sunday
met
with
youth
link
yesterday
and
meeting
with
residents
from
cedar
riverside
tomorrow
we're
hearing
several
common
themes.
One
of
them
is
concern
over
this
question
of
additional
law
enforcement
and
mutual
aid
and
how
those
additional
law,
enforcement
and
mutual
aid
will
be
interfacing
with
peaceful
protesters
in
our
city.
B
Additionally,
there
are
mutual
aid
partners
and
officers
that
will
have
received
further
training
and
coaching
through
this
de-escalation
process
that
we
have
at
the
minneapolis
pd.
Many
of
them
are
in
our
mobile
mobile
ford,
mobile
field
teams,
and
we
also
know
that
there
are
so
that
there
are
individuals
and
instigators
that
will
be
coming
in
or
have
come
in
in
the
past,
from
outside
of
the
city
and
and
beyond
the
state,
those
outside
instigators
that
were
certainly
present
in
late
may
and
early
june.
B
First,
we
need
to
be
working
directly
with
those
peaceful
protesters
and
we
have
been
to
make
sure
that
we
as
a
city
are
better
able
to
distinguish
between
those
that
are
peacefully
protesting
and
that
those
that
seek
to
cause
violence
and
destruction
in
our
city.
I
know
that
director
sasha
cotton
has
been
in
touch
with,
as
I
have
been
with
a
number
of
these
different
entities
and
peaceful
protesters.
B
Different
community
groups
and
we've
made
sure
to
formalize
agreements
ahead
of
time,
so
that
we
can
have
an
inflow
and
outflow
of
information
so
that
we're
able
to
disseminate
intelligence
as
well
as
receive
it
as
quickly
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
distinguish
between
those
that
are
peaceful,
protesting
peacefully
and
those
that
are
not
much
of
this
work
and
will
be
covered
by
director.
Cotton
very
shortly.
B
We'll
also
continue
with
very
regular
updates
in
the
coming
weeks
and
for
most
for
the
most
up-to-date
information
follow
the
city
of
minneapolis,
as
well
as
social
media,
sign
up
for
the
city's
newsletter
and
for
law
enforcement.
Specifics
follow
the
operation
safety
net
pages
separate
from
the
trial
planning
ahead,
but
certainly
relevant
to
our
sustained
approach
to
creating
change
and
accountability
within
the
police
department.
I'll
note
that
the
george
floyd
act
just
passed
the
house
at
the
united
states
congress
just
last
night.
B
This
act
provides
for
some
additional
measures,
including
a
federal
database,
to
track
use
of
force
policies
within
respective
departments
throughout
the
country.
I
want
to
thank
congresswoman
omar
for
her
work
towards
this
end,
and
I
also
want
to
close
by
mentioning
a
couple
of
very
important
piece
pieces
that
often
go
missed.
B
First,
our
city
staff
have
been
working
tirelessly
in
preparation
for
safety
and
security
measures,
as
well
as
community
outreach
for
the
better
part
of
the
last
eight
months,
beginning
in
august,
preparation
began
for
this
trial
city
staff
have
had
to
do
far
more
work
with
far
fewer
resources
and
far
fewer
staff.
They've
shouldered
this
burden
on
their
own
they've,
been
working
tirelessly
in
city
hall
and
around
the
city
of
minneapolis.
I
cannot
thank
them
enough.
B
B
And,
finally,
I
want
to
thank
the
people
of
minneapolis
for
for
coming
together
during
this
time
for
expressing
your
voice
for
peacefully
protesting
for
making
sure
that
our
city
is
safe
and
for
working
with
our
city
enterprise.
We
know
that
you
will
be
a
critical
part
of
ensuring
safety
throughout
our
city.
D
Thank
you
mayor
ferrari,
chief
era,
down
to
the
minneapolis
police
department.
I,
too
want
to
take
a
moment
to
first
thank
and
support
the
men
and
women
of
the
minneapolis
police
department,
both
our
sworn
and
civilian
team
members.
D
They
have
been
taken
on
double
duty,
quite
frankly,
not
only
with
the
preparation
of
preparing
for
these
upcoming
trials,
but
also
just
making
sure
that
our
city
stays
safe
and
protected
24
7
in
terms
of
their
normal
operations.
We
still
clearly
obviously
have
to
maintain
a
city
to
run,
and
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
men
and
women
of
the
mpd
and
their
families
that
are
also
along
with
them
on
this
journey
operation.
D
Safety
net,
as
many
of
you
have
heard,
has
been
in
the
planning
stages
now
for
approximately
eight
months,
and
it
really
is
on
two
main
focus
points.
One
is
making
sure
that
we
ensure
the
first
amendment
rights
of
all
those
who
come
into
minneapolis
to
participate,
that
civic
participation
is
going
to
be
very
key
and
important,
and
so
we're
ensuring
that
that
happens
and
happens
peacefully.
D
So
we
encourage
those
individuals
who
wish
to
come
into
downtown
minneapolis,
and
we
know
that,
beginning
as
early
as
sunday
we're
going
to
have
peaceful
we're
going
to
peaceful
demonstrations,
downtown
and,
and
also
of
course,
monday
and
in
the
days
ahead.
So
we
we.
We
encourage
that.
We
support
that.
First
amendment,
peaceful
civic
participation.
D
D
D
Illegal
fireworks
throwing
objects
as
well
as
pedestrians,
going
on
to
our
our
freeways
that
that
cannot
be
tolerated,
and
so
we
want
to
make
that
very
clear
again.
We
want
to
focus
on
ensuring
the
peaceful
demonstrations
of
those
who
wish
to
gather,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
we
do
all
of
that
to
keep
those
safe
and
peaceful,
but
we
cannot
allow
and
re-traumatize
our
city
and
our
communities
with
unlawful
activity.
D
The
mayor
mentioned
mayor,
for
I
mentioned
the
importance
of
the
media.
The
media
plays
an
important
role
in
that
first
amendment
constitutional,
protected
speech,
and
so
we
appreciate
you
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
are
able
to
capture
history
and
record
it
to
all
of
those
people
out
here
in
minneapolis
and
across
the
world.
D
One
of
the
things
that
we've
learned
and
have
been
working
on
from
last
year's
events
is
making
sure
that
we're
communicating
on
better
ways
to
properly
credential
media,
we're
also
having
conversations
with
local
media
and
some
of
our
national
partners
for
your
journalists
who
are
going
to
be
embedded
in
the
groups
covering
the
the
demonstrations
throughout
the
trial
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
real-time
information
to
them.
In
the
event,
there
are
public
safety
concerns.
D
This
is
really
two
things
we
want
to
ensure
the
first
amendment
rights
for
all
those
coming
into
our
city,
and
that
is
going
to
be
key
for
that
civic
participation
and
then
the
other
key
piece,
of
course,
is
making
sure
that
all
of
this
is
done
in
a
way
that
prevention
is
the
key
keeping
our
city
safe
and
all
those
who
come
into
minneapolis.
So
thank
you,
and
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
bring
up
director
sasha
cotton
of
the
office
of
violence,
prevention.
E
Thank
you
chief
and
mayor
frye,
I'm
sasha
cotton,
the
director
of
the
minneapolis
office
of
violence
prevention.
I
have
the
great
pleasure
of
working
in
our
community
and
working
with
our
communities
as
we
prepare
for
the
child,
derek
chavin.
We
recognize
that
this
trial
triggers
a
lot
of
trauma
and
response,
bringing
people
back
to
the
unrest
of
last
summer,
and
with
that
in
mind,
we
are
working
closely
with
community
to
develop
some
strategies,
one
of
which
is
a
current
request
for
application.
E
That
should
come
out
tomorrow
for
community
patrols
and
community
de-escalation
teams
to
be
working
on
the
ground
in
the
diversity
of
our
city.
We're
very
excited
about
this
opportunity,
because
we
know
that
community
needs
to
lead
on
keeping
itself
safe,
and
this
is
one
way
that
we
can
help
to
support
our
community
in
keeping
itself
safe
and
connected
and
connected
to
the
city.
We
know
that
information
will
be
coming
out
rapidly
about
the
trial
and
its
evolution,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
community
gets
that
information
as
quickly
as
possible.
E
E
F
Good
morning
my
name
is
mark
ruff
m-a-r-k-r-u-f-f.
I
am
the
city
coordinator
and
thank
you
sasha,
because
david's
actually
better
looking
than
me.
So
it's
a
compliment
that
you
that
you
introduced
me
as
him.
The
the
royal
city
coordinator,
I
oversee
a
variety
of
internal
and
some
of
our
outward-facing
departments,
including
311
and
9-1-1.
I
want
to
echo
what
the
mayor
highlighted,
which
I
think
about
our
9-1-1
call
takers
our
dispatchers,
some
of
the
most
under-appreciated
first
responders,
who
deal
with
people
in
their
most
difficult
moments
of
life
and
oftentimes.
F
I
would
also
say,
with
our
311
employees
as
well
as
they
are
the
ones
who
are
the
first
line
when
people
have
just
general
questions
and
wonder
about
this
about
what's
happening
with
whether
it's
the
trial
or
just
even
how
to
get
around
town
and
just
a
solid
group
of
individuals
that
we
have
dedicated
towards
their
best
service
for
our
community
members,
and
I
encourage
all
members
of
our
businesses
and
our
residents
to
utilize
those
resources
in
appropriate
ways.
Again.
9-1-1
should
just
be
for
the
calls
that
are
immediate
life.
F
Safety
need
an
ambulance,
need
a
fire
response,
need
a
sworn
officer,
responding
to
a
crisis.
In
the
moment.
For
those
who
have
general
questions
about
information,
we
are
standing
up
a
new
section
of
the
city's
website
starting
late
tomorrow.
Again,
the
city's
website
is
at
www.minneapolismn.gov
and
there
will
be
a
very
specific
section
around
what
you
a
question
and
answer
as
well:
a
q
a
as
well
as
just
general
overview
of
what's
happening
with
the
trial,
and
we
that
is
the
best
up
to
minute
resource
that
we
as
a
city
will
have
3-1-1.
F
Also
for
general
information.
We
are
supplementing
all
of
the
work,
so
we
can
be
timely
in
our
responses,
whether
those
come
in
via
phone
or
versus
email,
again
for
business
and
property
owners
and
working
with
our
community
planning
and
economic
development
department
and
generally
about
questions
about
what's
happening
in
the
next
weeks
and
months.
F
There
is
a
special
phone
number
six
one,
two
six,
seven,
three
four
and
those
are
for
both
preparation
and
for
resources
around
small
businesses
and
larger
businesses
and
lastly,
for
those
people
who
have
suspicious
activity
that
they're
observing.
That
is,
that
does
not
require
immediate
response,
but
they
want
to
make
sure
it's
logged
into
our
public
safety
systems.
We
do
have
the
mpd
tips
line.
That
is.
C
You
have
a
list
of
the
outside
police
departments
that
are
going
to
be
assisting
as
part
of
the
mutual
aid
agreement.
I
understand,
is
it
and
is
it
still
12,
including
mpd.
B
So
the
the
question
is:
do
we
have
a
list
of
the
outside
law
enforcement
partners
that
are
participating
as
part
of
the
mutual
aid
program?
The
answer
is,
is
yes
and
the
the
original?
The
number
that
you
cited
was
12..
That
number
had
at
least
last
time
I
checked
in
increasing,
but
chief
ardando.
Can
you
give
a
more
up-to-date
take.
D
To
the
question
of
how
many
of
those
mutual
aid
partners
are
currently
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
operation
safety
net,
so
I
believe
the
number
is
more
than
more
than
12
at
this
time.
We
we
do
have
a
list,
and
you
know
this
could
also
expand
as
we
get
into
the
the
coming
weeks,
but
we
have
local
some
of
our
statewide
partners
in
osu.
Also.
We
also
have
some
of
our
federal
partners
who
are
participating
as
well.
D
It
was
both
so
some
of
it
was
the
standard
training
that
mayor
frye
talked
about
that
is
required
by
post
licensure,
but
also
we
have
those
officers
from
different
agencies
who
will
be
really
assigned
really
specific
specialized
functions
during
the
trial
and
so
they've
had
actually,
above
and
beyond
certain
types
of
trainings.
G
B
So,
thank
you,
liz.
The
question
was
we're
still
awaiting
the
decision
as
to
whether
we
will
be
moving
forward
or
the
prosecution
will
be
moving
forward
with
a
third
degree,
murder
charge
right
now
and
that's
a
decision
going
through
the
judicial
system
right
now.
B
The
question
is
whether
that
decision
will
impact
our
preparation
for
the
trial
and
whether
it
will
impact,
for
instance,
either
the
fencing
or
the
law
enforcement
presence.
The
answer
is,
it
depends.
It
depends
one
whether
that
third
degree
murder
charge
is
being
moved
forward.
Then
second,
it
depends
on
what,
if
any
delay
the
judge
at
hennepin
county
would
propose.
H
Your
department
obviously
has
been
at
the
center
of
this
for
now
almost
a
year,
you
to
mention
special
training
for
additional
departments.
How
are
you
addressing
your
own
officers?
What
how
are
they
responding?
What
is
their
attitude?
Are
they
getting
special
training
special
help,
and
how
are
you
dealing
with
the
situation
that
has
to
be
extremely
difficult.
D
Thank
you
for
the
the
question
which
was
over
the
past
year.
Minneapolis
police
department
obviously
has
been
a
focal
point
of
this
and
what
types
of
training
and
kind
of
where
our
officers
are
at
you
know.
We've
lost
a
lot
of
officers
over
this
past
year
for
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
and
I
want
to
thank
those
for
their
service
while
they
were
here
for
those
that
have
remained,
we
continue
to
try
to
reach
out
to
them.
D
So
there's
there's
not
only
the
additional
part
of
the
the
types
of
training
that
myself
and
the
mayor
have
talked
about.
That
is
important.
As
we
move
forward,
we've
made
numerous
significant
policy
changes
that
impact
the
way
that
we
can
effectively
do
our
jobs
and
also
build
community
trust
at
the
same
time.
D
I
will
also
say
that
over
this
past
year,
many
of
our
communities
throughout
the
four
corners
of
the
city
have
really
stepped
up,
have
have
talked
about
that
mayor
frye
has
talked
about
so
much
is
that
this
both
and
that
that
we
can
focus
on
transformational,
true,
genuine
transformational
change
for
the
minneapolis
police
department,
but
at
the
same
time
an
appreciation
and
a
value
that
we
need
public
safety.
D
We
are
going
to
need
in
our
society,
men
and
women
who
are
armed,
who
are
willing
to
rush
into
danger
when
it
presents
itself,
so
we're
looking
at
it
from
that
holistic
viewpoint
and
we'll
continue
to
do
more
for
men
and
women.
So
thank.
H
D
So
how
have
I,
as
chief,
been
handling
this
over
this
time?
You
know,
I'm
I'm
very
blessed
that
I
have
so
many
courageous
men
and
women
that
inspire
me
each
and
every
day
to
come
into
work
to
do
the
best
that
I
can
I've
been
so
fortunate
to
be
a
part
of
a
city
that
has
literally
raised
me,
and
I
still
keep
those
relationships
to
this
day.
D
So
that
has
helped
me
through
this
here,
and
I
would
also
just
think
that,
for
those
who
know
me,
I'm
I'm
a
hopeful
optimistic
person
by
nature
anyway,
and
so
that
that
keeps
me
that
keeps
me
guided
as
well.
But
thank
you
for
that.
You've.
D
B
This
is
an
opportunity
to
see
that
culture
shift
through
a
big
part
of
a
culture
shift
is
making
sure
that
we
have
the
right
people,
the
right
personnel,
it's
getting
the
wrong
officers
out.
It's
bringing
the
right
officers
in.
We
recently
changed
some
policies
to
add
additional
valuation
for
officers
that
live
within
the
city
for
officers
that
have
some
form
of
deep
connection
to
social
service
organizations,
to
officers
that
attend
church
or
synagogue
or
temple
within
minneapolis.
Go
to
your
local
food
shelf,
help
out
at
a
homeless
shelter.
B
We
want
officers
to
have
a
comprehensive
and
broad
outlook
on
residents
of
our
city,
and
we
want
our
minneapolis
police
department
to
look
like
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
every
way,
shape
and
form,
and
so,
if
you
are
somebody
that
wants
to
see
that
culture
shift
and
deep
structural
change
through
be
part
of
that
change
and
apply
we're
taking
applications.
We're
gonna.
B
B
That
is
something
that
we
cannot
allow
to
have
happen.
You
need
these
forms
of
these
government
structures
in
place
intact,
ready
to
operate
and
respond.
Local
government,
and
specifically
the
city
of
minneapolis,
has
always
been
the
government
that
does
not
shut
down.
We
have
a
very
difficult
and
trauma-filled
trial
that
will
be
proceeding
over
the
next
couple
of
months.
We
need
our
city
employees
to
continue
to
operate.
We
need
our
pieces
of
city
infrastructure
to
be
intact
and
and
ready
to
respond
and-
and
I
think
that's
been
clear
throughout.
A
Yeah
I'd
love
to
hear
what
the
chief
has
to
say
about
the
question
too,
about
how
the
security
plan
has
possibly
changed
since
january
6.,
but
also,
if
you
could
talk
to
folks,
you
mentioned
mayor
about
people
being
concerned
about
some
of
the
extra
law
enforcement
coming
into
town.
When
will
we
start
to
see
them?
Will
they
be
out
on
the
streets
starting
this
weekend?
You
could
talk
about
both
of
those.
B
E
B
The
trial
does
move
forward
with
jury
selection
on
march
8th
this
coming
monday.
The
the
presence
will
not
be
as
robust,
certainly
as
it
will
be
later
in
the
trial.
The
schedule
as
proposed
is
that
jury
selection
begins
march,
8th
the
trial
itself
and
opening
statements
don't
take
place
until
later
march.
B
We
anticipate
that
the
trial
should
last
for
somewhere
in
the
range
of
a
month,
leaving
jury,
deliberation
and
then
the
final
verdict
to
happen
either
in
very
late
april.
Perhaps
early
may
and
that's
an
estimate
of
course,
and
so
of
course,
as
we
get
in
closer
to
jury
deliberation,
that's
when
you
will
see
a
very
robust
presence,
yes
of
of
law
enforcement
as
well
as
national
guard.
Now
that
is
not
the
only
work
that's
taking
place,
and
I
want
to
really
emphasize
this
throughout.
B
We
will
be
working
with
community
organizations,
neighborhood
associations
block
captains
to
have
a
robust
and
comprehensive
approach
to
public
and
safety
of
to
public
safety.
That
yes
includes
law
enforcement,
but
is
by
no
means
limited
to
it.
This
will
be
a
comprehensive
approach
that
would
that
we're
very
much
leaning
into.
D
It
certainly
changed
in
in
the
sense
that
I
think
many
law
enforcement
agencies
across
the
country
recognize
the
importance
of
communication
and
we're
very
fortunate
in
the
state
of
minnesota
that
we
have
such
a
a
very
good,
robust,
strong
partnership
in
terms
of
mutual
aid.
We
have
been
planning
obviously
for
for
many
months
prior
to
the
events
on
january
6,
so
that
was
helpful
that
we
had
time
to
plan
but
clearly
from
january
6.
D
It's
absolutely
critically
important
that
we
that
we
do
all
we
can
and
still
continue
to
learn
from
some
of
those
events.
Unified
command
is
very
important
because
we
are
all
working
together.
All
of
our
mutual
aid
partners
we're
receiving
real-time
information
and
that's
important
as
we
get
through.
I
will
just
say,
lastly,
not
only
with
january
6,
but
in
events
that
we've
seen
not
only
here
locally
but
throughout
the
country
having
those
partnerships
with
our
community
stakeholders
is
key
and
we've
been
communicating
with
them
and
will
have
ongoing
communication
with
them.
D
That
that
level
of
the
the
environmental
security
that
we
put
up
the
fencing
and
razor
wire
that
was
actually
pre-planned
even
before
january,.
F
Liz,
I
think
the
question
was:
how
is
the
fencing
being
paid
for
and
will
that
require
additional
fencing
or
additional
funding?
I'm
sorry,
the.
F
We've
been
working
with
with
our
partners
and
our
partners
being
the
county
and
the
state
on
reimbursement
for
the
vast
majority
of
the
costs
associated
with
this,
and
that
was
the
thanks
to
the
governor's
support
the
safe
account
that
has
been
introduced
at
the
state
legislature.
F
Our
hope
is
that
we
will
continue
to
see
eligibility
for
almost
all
of
our
costs,
including
the
fencing,
if
that's
not
the
case,
it's
like
any
other,
unexpected
expenditure
within
the
city.
We
work
with
the
mayor
and
the
council
to
come
up
with
options
to
fill
that
budget
hole
and
we're
still
early
in
the
calendar
year.
We
have
a
budget
year,
that's
equal
to
the
calendar
year,
and
so
you
know
we
have
10
more
months
to
work
through
issues
like
that
or
anything
else
that
comes
up
including
a
late.
