Description
Mayor Jacob Frey joins City leadership and external experts to announce his new standards for the Minneapolis Police Department’s (MPD) warrant and entry policy. The proposed policy makes significant changes and restrictions for both the application for and execution of search warrants, while adding additional layers of accountability to the review process following issuance of a search warrant.
A
A
I
also
want
to
thank
deray,
mckesson
and
katie
ryan
from
campaign
zero.
They
have
a
an
extensive
database
that
provides
information
about
what
jurisdictions
from
around
this
country
have
done.
With
regard
to
warrant
policies,
I
want
to
thank
our
interim
chief,
emilia
huffman,
who
is
supportive
of
this
policy
and
who
has
helped
get
it
in
place
and
we're
going
to
be
working
over
the
next
several
weeks
to
roll
out
the
clear
legalities
and
the
definitions
that
are
going
to
be
in
the
ultimate
policy
and
then
ultimately
get
the
training
set
up
as
well.
A
There's
not
unanimity
in
terms
of
what
people
think,
but
we
wanted
to
provide
a
policy
again
that
has
preservation
of
life
at
the
forefront
and
makes
some
headway
towards
rebuilding
trust
between
our
department
and
the
constituents
that
we
are
charged
with
protecting
and
serving
so
here's
where
we
landed
today,
we
are
announcing
a
prohibition
on
both
the
application
for
end
of
the
execution
of
no
knock
slash,
no
announce
search
warrants,
in
other
words,
going
forward.
We
will
neither
be
applying
for
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
search
warrants
again.
These
two
phrases
are
used
interchangeably.
A
We
will
not
be
executing
the
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
search
warrants
that
applies
for
instances
when
another
jurisdiction
has
requested
the
search
warrant
and
we
would
be
executing
that
applies
to
instances
when
we
would
be
applying
for
the
warrant
and
other
jurisdictions
would
be
executing
just
to
state
it
again
and
very
clearly.
A
A
There
will
be
a
requisite
wait
time
of
at
least
20
seconds
prior
to
entry,
so
officers
executing
a
knock
and
announce
warrant
would
have
to
knock
slash,
announce
themselves
continue
to
announce
themselves
for
a
period
of
at
least
20
seconds.
It
could
be
longer
during
the
day
during
the
night
time,
which
is
established
by
state
law
as
8
pm
to
7
am,
we
will
require
a
minimum
of
30
seconds.
A
This
is
the
most
forward-thinking
policy
we
believe
in
the
country
and
in
addition
to
having
this
policy
set
up,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
our
interim
director
of
civil
rights
has
undergone
an
analysis.
We
also
want
to
make
that
analysis
public
as
well
today
and
she's,
going
to
give
you
more
of
a
rundown
as
to
how
that's
going
to
function
shortly.
Here,
we've
also
established
a
new
system
of
classifying
types
of
entry
warrants
and
some
additional
layers
of
approvals
for
them
search
warrants.
A
However,
they
will
now
be
divided
into
three
key
areas.
The
first
is
low
risk.
There
will
be
a
medium
risk
and
a
high
risk.
Low
risk
search
warrants
would
happen
in
instances
when
an
entry
might
not
even
be
necessary,
and
certainly
a
forced
entry
is
likely
not
not
necessary
and
the
the
expectation
of
any
violence
is
minimal.
If
not
zero.
A
A
Now
in
actually
carrying
these
out
and
carrying
these
warrants
out.
We
also
wanted
to
change
the
methodology
associated
with
it,
so
we
are
going
to
be
setting
up
some
safer
tactics
to
entering
now.
What
that
would
look
like
practically
is,
after
the
requisite
20
seconds
has
been
met,
officers
would
be
able
to
enter
and
then
hold
so
rather
than
have
an
active
entry
which
has
been
conducted
at
times
in
the
past,
where
officers
continue
to
enter
the
premise
officers
would
then
enter
the
the
room
or
the
unit.
A
For
instance,
the
officer
that
first
enters
and
then
hold
holds
would
have
to
have
likely
80
pound
ballistic
shield
that
would
protect
them
and
others
from
any
danger
that
could
be
associated
with
entering
the
unit.
A
Another
officer
would
have
to
hang
what
is
known
as
a
ballistics
blanket
or
in
some
cases
officers
will
have
to
hang
multiple
ballistic
blankets.
Needless
to
say,
having
these
additional
responsibilities
will
also
require
additional
personnel
to
conduct
each
one
of
these
entries
and
again.
The
goal
here
is
safety.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
safe
and
we're
able
to
call
out
individuals
from
the
unit
without
these
active
entries
as
much
as
possible.
A
We
want
to
set
up
a
dashboard
and
that
dashboard
could,
on
a
semi-regular
basis,
be
updated
to
reflect
the
warrants
that
have
been
executed
and
the
forced
entries
that
have
been
executed,
and
perhaps
some
additional
information
like
whether
the
the
warrant
was
conducted
during
the
daytime
or
the
night
time,
and
that
will
give
the
public
some
general
information
about
what
we
are
doing
now.
A
We
also
want
to
embed
civilians
within
our
police
department
to
making
sure
that
they
have
regular
reviews
of
how
these
search
warrants
are
conducted,
making
sure
that
they
are
executed
and
applied
for
under
the
law
and
specifically
the
policy
that
we've
set
up
through
the
minneapolis
police
department
and
so
again,
there's
four
things
that
are
associated
with
these
search
warrants
the
knock
and
announce
to
be
clear,
search
warrants
that
will
still
be
conducted.
A
That's
requiring
the
new
wait
times
number
one
20
seconds
during
the
day
and
30
seconds
during
the
night.
That's
a
new
system
of
classification,
low,
medium
and
high,
with
additional
approvals
that
are
associated
with
each
that's,
the
enhanced
technology
and
the
safer
techniques
for
entry
which
we
went
through
and
then
four
is
the
civilian
review
and
accountability
systems
in
the
dashboard
that
I
just
mentioned.
A
So
those
are
the
four
key
areas
we
can
go
through,
those
just
to
make
sure
we've
simplified
it
as
much
as
possible,
and
this
is
complex,
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
and
knock
slash,
announce,
search
warrant
law
under
the
state
is
very
complex
and
so
we're
trying
to
be
as
as
transparent
with
all
of
you,
as
we
possibly
can
in
this
new
policy
and
from
here
I'll
tell
you
we're
going
to
keep
our
foot
on
the
gas.
A
We
want
to
do
this
right
and
the
implement
the
implementation
of
this
new
policy
and
the
added
layers
of
accountability
are
really
critical
steps
towards
rebuilding
community
trust
and
then
ultimately,
moving
our
our
city
forward
to
true
systemic
change
and
reform
within
our
department,
and
we
want
to
set
a
tone,
and
so
with
that.
A
I
first
want
to
give
a
huge
thank
you
again
to
our
interim
director
alberto
gillespie,
who
has
pulled
together
her
team
to
make
sure
that
she's
got
a
full
analysis
of
this
particular
policy
and
doing
the
work
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
the
policy
is
effectuated
properly.
I'll
call
up
our
interim
director
alberto
gillespie.
B
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor,
my
comments
will
be
fairly
brief,
because
the
mayor
covered
a
lot
of
the
things
that
I
think
are
really
important,
as
we
consider
no
knock
warrants,
and
so
I
am,
as
he
said,
the
currently
the
interim
director
for
the
civil
rights
department
here
in
minneapolis,
and
the
role
that
we
have
played
in
this
has
really
really
been
about
the
data.
B
And,
as
the
mayor
said,
the
most
important
thing
is
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
are
creating
policies
that
will
protect
community
and
the
police
officers.
So
we
did
this
detailed
review
of
how
effective
are
the
no
knock
warrant-
searches
here
in
minneapolis,
and
so
we
will
release
our
preliminary
report
today.
You'll
see
in
detail
what
we
covered.
B
Campaign
zero
who
are
going
to
come
up
next
have
ensured
us
that
the
information
that
we
provided
is
something
that
is
not
necessarily
available
in
other
states.
So
we
are
excited
to
be
on
the
cutting
edge
of
providing
information
and
data
that
really
does
exceed
what's
done
in
other
and
other
states.
So
without
further
ado,
I'll
bring
up
campaign.
Xero-
and
they
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
C
Hi
everybody,
I'm
duran,
mckesson
of
campaign,
zero
good
to
be
here.
Our
role
was
two
part.
One
is
that
we
wanted
to
help
the
mayor's
team
focus
on
a
policy
and
develop
a
policy
that
both
reduced
contact
between
the
police
and
citizens
and
also
save
lives.
Those
are
our
two
goals
in
terms
of
our
involvement
here.
There
are
a
couple
things
I
want
to
highlight
about
the
proposed
policy.
C
The
first
is
that
when
we
looked
at
policies
all
across
the
country,
we've
worked
with
every
single
state
that
has
actually
restricted
the
use
of
non-operating,
there's
been
six
states
and
the
doj
directive
that
have
restricted
the
use
of
no
knock
grades.
We've
also
looked
at
all
search
want
laws
all
across
the
country,
and
what
is
powerful
about
this
proposed
proposed
policy
is
that
the
first
thing
is
that
every
search
warrant
will
require
a
waiting
time
and
that's
actually
an
important
thing.
C
There
is
no
other
city
where
every
search
warrant
requires
a
waiting
time
right
now.
At
the
city
level,
there
are
two
states
that
have
a
20-second
waiting
time
for
the
police.
That's
in
state
law
for
the
execution
of
all
search
warrants,
that's
maryland
and
maine.
There
is
no
state
or
city
that
has
30
seconds.
So
if
the
policy
that
is
proposed
today
becomes
the
actual
policy,
minneapolis
will
be
the
only
place
in
the
country
with
a
30-second
wait
time.
You
know
we
understand
this
as
the
floor,
not
the
ceiling.
C
So
we're
excited
to
see
people
look
at
the
policies
after
today
and
continue
to
push
the
mayor's
team
and
continue
to
push
the
council
as
well.
The
second
is
when
we
look
at
the
30
to
60
second
or
the
floor
of
30
seconds
for
night
time.
There
have
been
cities
that
have
proposed
that
in
the
past,
but
have
not
been
able
to
get
it
across
the
finish
line.
C
So
again,
if
minneapolis
actually
turns
it
into
policy
that
will
be
the
only
city
or
state
in
the
country
with
even
a
30
second
wait
time
or
a
wait
time
that
is
different
for
daytime
and
night
time.
With
the
floor
of
30
seconds,
which
is
huge.
You
know
we
think
that
most
people
cannot
get
from
any
part
of
their
house
to
the
door.
C
If
this
policy
becomes,
if
the
proposed
policy
becomes
the
actual
policy,
it
will
be
11
out
of
15.
minneapolis
will
have
done
all
that
it
could
do
at
the
city
level.
There
are
some
remaining
things
like
civil
asset
forfeiture
that
have
to
be
done
at
the
state
level
or
not
under
the
sole
purview
of
the
mayor,
but
an
11
out
of
15
would
be
the
best
policy
in
the
country
at
the
state
or
the
city
level.
The
best
today
is
maryland,
which
is
a
9.5
again.
The
ratings
and
the
rubrics
are
public
on
the
website.
C
The
one
of
the
the
final
things
is
to
encourage
people
to
remember
that
today
is
the
proposed
policy
that
we
wanna.
We
are
excited
to
continue
working
with
the
council
and
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
the
proposals
today
become
the
actual
language
and
the
policy
and
we're
heartened
by
this.
One
of
the
final
things,
though,
is,
is
that
the
data
that'll
be
released.
Today
is
one
of
a
kind
we
have
never
seen
a
state
or
a
city
be
able
to
produce
warrant
by
warrant
analysis
of
any
warrant
data.
C
The
best
data
that
exists
right
now
is
from
the
state
of
maryland
and
the
report
there
sun
said
it
in
2014
it'll
come
back
soon,
but
there
is
no
up-to-date
data
that
we
have
at
the
state
level
or
cities
anywhere.
I'm
excited
for
you
to
see
the
analysis
that
will
be
released.
Cities
across
the
country
should
replicate
this.
It
should
be
live.
It
should
be
real
time.
D
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
katie
ryan.
With
campaign
zero,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
additional
context
for
how
exactly
we
landed
on
the
recommendations
in
the
proposed
policy.
The
first
is
that
we
lean
really
heavily
on
some
academic
research
by
dr
pete
kraska,
professor
at
eastern
kentucky
university,
who
is
also
the
nation's
leading
scholar
on
no
knock
search
warrants.
D
A
Thank
you
katie
and
deray
and
interim
director,
and
also
a
big
thank
you
to
council
member
vitar,
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee
at
the
city
council,
and
with
that
we'll
open
it
up
to
any
questions
you
might
have.
E
Can
you
talk
about
like
a
hostage
type
of
situation
where
you
know.
A
So
it's
a
good,
it's
a
good
question
and
we
to
use
derae's
line.
We
really
should
ban
the
word
ban
because
there
are
exceptions
under
very
dangerous
situations
like,
for
instance,
a
hostage
situation
that
you
just
mentioned,
where
officers
could
enter
without
a
search
warrant
at
all,
so
to
be
clear,
an
officer
could
be
walking
or
driving
down
the
street
encounter
something
that
it
could
be
extremely
dangerous,
whether
it's
a
severe
domestic
violence
situation
or
a
hostage
situation.
As
you
just
mentioned.
A
A
A
Correct,
yes,
the
the
so
the
current
moratorium
applies
to
specifically
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
search
warrants.
This
policy
would,
in
addition
to
prohibiting
no
knock,
slash,
no
announced
search
warrants.
It
would
also
require
the
20-second
wait
time
ahead
now.
B
A
A
Sure
so
there
was
a
question
about
the
timeline
as
to
getting
this
set
up,
as
well
as
the
additional
steps
that
we
need
to
be
taking
going
forward
and
and
the
interim
chief's
position
as
well
so
first,
the
interim
chief
is
very
supportive.
She's
been
very
helpful,
as
has
her
staff
in
ultimately
getting
this
policy
set
up.
Is
there
a
unanimity
around
a
requisite
20-second?
Wait,
of
course,
there's
not
I've
heard
from
people
that
wanted
to
see
longer
than
20
seconds
during
the
day.
A
I've
seen
heard
from
people
that
wanted
shorter
than
20
seconds
or
no
wait
time
at
all,
and
I
think
that
is
just
a
dynamic
of
of
wanting
to
see
some
urgency
attached
to
our
policy.
Making
and
simultaneously
people
have
a
divergence
of
opinion
and
that'll
always
be
the
case.
As
far
as
the
timeline
goes,
we
hope
to
have
this,
so
this
is
the
direction.
What
you
have
heard
today
is
the
direction
that
we
are
going
to
take
this
policy
period.
A
A
A
No,
no
much
much
sooner
than
that.
So
the
question
was
we
looking
later
this
summer?
No,
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
give
you
an
exact
date
here,
but
we're
looking
of
having
the
policy
formalized
within
the
next
two
to
three
weeks.
So
we're
talking
weeks,
not
months
the
training
then
shortly
thereafter,
you
know
I
can
get
you
an
update
as
to
what
that
should
take.
But
you
know
I
think
we
can
start
moving
on
the
training
even
before
the
full
policy
is
set.
A
So
there
are
a
number
of
different
jurisdictions
through
the
country
that
have
implemented
some
time.
As
mr
deray
mckesson
mentioned,
there
are
two
states
that
presently
have
a
22nd
minimum
requirement.
Those
are
maine
and
maryland,
and
there
were
no
other
municipalities
or
states
with
a
longer
wait
time.
A
A
Additionally,
I
didn't
mention
this
now.
This
was
already
an
mpd
practice,
but
we
wanted
to
formalize
it.
In
writing.
Officers
will
also
be
required
to
be
in
uniform
and
or
have
a
clear
designation
that
they
are
in
fact,
police
if,
if,
for
instance,
they're
wearing
armor,
it
should
just
say
police.
Clearly.
F
There
haven't
been
any
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
warren's
executed
since
the
moratorium
correct
correct,
so
it's
almost
like
you're
kind
of
a
small
sample
size
already
it's
a
very
short
time,
but
since
then
you
kind
of
have
like
this
policy
in
practice.
Essentially
have
you
found
that
that's
at
all
hampered
the
police
department
or
how
they
responded
to
the
moratorium?
Are
they
still
able
to
do
their
work?
You
know.
A
So
yeah
I
I
would.
I
would
direct
that
so
the
question
was:
has
the
moratorium
in
any
way
hampered
the
policy
in
the
immediacy
I'll.
A
Has,
of
course,
hampered
things
in
the
immediacy,
but
that
does
not
mean
at
all
in
any
way
shape
or
form
that
it
will
hamper
our
ability
to
conduct
search
warrants
once
everything
is
up
and
moving.
It's
probably
a
question:
that's
best
asked
for
to
police
themselves
and
no
they're,
not
they're,
not
in
here
presently.
A
A
Internally,
we've
talked
with
our
mpd
discussed
with
a
number
of
policy
experts
and,
of
course,
our
interim
director
of
civil
rights
and
her
team
have
been
running
the
analysis
that
also
helped
inform
the
policy
itself
and
finally,
we've
talked
to
over
100
people,
many
of
whom
are
representing
much
larger
entities
like,
for
instance,
a
portion
of
the
american
indian
community
we've
had
representatives.
That
would
just
be
one
example
that
that
could
offer
feedback
on
the
directional
sense
generally
of
the
policy
and
where
we
need
to
go
from
here
again.
A
A
Helped
ultimately
inform
the
policy
direction
that
you've
seen
before
you
and
was
this
discussed
by
the
public
safety?
I'm
sorry!
Yes,
it
was
so.
The
final
question
was:
was
it
discussed
by
the
public
safety
work
group
myself,
as
well
as
mr
mckesson
miss
ryan?
We
presented
to
the
public
safety
work
group?
Yes,.
F
What
will
oversight
look
like
once
this
policy
goes
into
place?
You
know,
will
somebody
be
like
reviewing
camera
footage
after
each
warrant
executed
like
how
will
he
make
sure
that
the
police
are.
A
Followed
yeah
so
to
to
make
first
off
to
make
it
really
easy
for
you.
It's
a
prohibition
on
no
knock,
slash,
no
announce
warrants
both
the
execution
of
and
the
application
for,
but
then
in
carrying
out
the
and
carrying
out,
knock
and
announce.
There
are
four
key
areas
that
you
all
want
to
focus
on.
I'm
trying
to
make
it
easy
for
the
for
the
news
to
set
it
up
here.
There's
the
there's
the
required
wait
times,
which
we've
discussed,
there's
the
new
system
of
classification,
which
would
be
low
risk,
medium
risk
and
high
risk.
A
There's
the
safer
entry
tactics,
including
the
enhanced
technology
that
we're
going
to
be
using
and
then
there's
the
civilian
review
internally
at
the
mpd,
as
well
as
the
additional
accountability
practices.
So
we
will
have.
The
plan
is
to
have
some
civilians
in
the
minneapolis
police
department
that
are
able
to
regularly
review
the
footage
of
forced
entries
after
they
take
place,
and
you
know
recommend
and
any
any
changes
that
that
need
to
be
made
based
on
either
the
training
or
even
potentially,
the
policy.
A
And,
additionally,
you
know
we'll
continue
to
have
a
complaint
based
system.
That's
set
up
through
our
office
of
police
conduct,
review
in
the
department
of
civil
rights
that
will
continue
to
be
there
and,
of
course,
audit,
so
they're,
they're
and
the
dashboard.
Finally,
there's
we
have
also
setting
up
a
dashboard
to
make
sure
that
people
can
transparently
see
what
we've
done.
E
This
does
designate
a
certain
officer
to
make
the
announcement
of
police
at
search
warrant,
because
in
that
video,
where
they
entered
the
apartment,
where
lock
was
staying,
they
were.
A
The
so
the
question
was
any
designated
way
to
communicate
what
exactly
is
happening
in
terms
of
the
announcement
prior
to
entry.
You
know
that's
going
to
be
something
that
we're
going
to
work
through
as
a
practice
and
in
the
training.
You
know,
I
I
think
you're
right
to
to
ask
about
what
is
the
best
way
of
doing
it,
and
you
know
I'm
not
an
expert
in
in
the
the
best
way,
particularly
to
announce
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that's
involved
in
the
practice
and
training
going.
A
Iris
situation,
so
the
the
question
was
whether
there's
a
concern
for
officer
safety
and
waiting
outside
for
those
requisite
20
seconds
prior
to
entry.
The
answer
is,
of
course,
that
was
a
concern
and
that
went
into
the
methodology
and
the
policy
that
we
want
to
set
up.
I
mean
look.
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
police
officers
that
are
willing
to
go
into
these
very
dangerous
situations.
A
We
also
want
to
make
police
officers
safer,
and
so
part
of
that
is
yes
making
sure
that
they
have
the
necessary
safety
tools,
whether
that's
the
ballistic
shield
or
the
ballistic
blanket
set
up,
they
know
how
to
use
them
and
and
that
they
are,
they
are
safe
as
well.
So
absolutely
that
was
a
concern,
and
that
was
part
of
why
we've
set
up
this
policy.
The
way
we
have
briefly.
Can
you
comment
on
the
appeal
today.
