Minneapolis has approved an agreement with the federal government in response to the murder of George Floyd that would require reforms within the city’s police department under long-term court supervision.

The Minneapolis City Council has agreed to a federal consent decree to implement major reforms within the Minneapolis Police Department.

Minneapolis' City Council voted on Monday to agree to systemic reforms to its police department and to submit the department to outside oversight after a U.S. federal investigation spurred by the 2020 murder of George Floyd uncovered a pattern of civil rights abuses.
