ST. PAUL, Minn. 鈥� Medaria Arradondo was appointed as the new chief of police for the Minneapolis Police Department. He is replacing Chief Jan茅e Harteau, who was forced to resign after Justine Damond was killed by Minneapolis Police Officer Mohammad Noor.

Teresa Nelson, interim executive director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Minnesota, issued the following statement:

鈥淢inneapolis' new interim police chief, Medaria (Rondo) Arradondo, is taking over as chief at a critical time. The department has long struggled with overuse of force, exemplified by the recent shootings of Justine Damond and Jamar Clark, and racial disparities in stops, arrests, and other police work that have caused tensions between communities of color and the police. It is crucial that Arrandondo take swift and immediate action within the Minneapolis Police Department to make the largescale changes needed to build a department that is just, responsive, and truly values the lives it is sworn to serve and protect.

鈥淎lthough during Chief Harteau鈥檚 tenure important steps were taken to push the department in a better direction, there is still much work that needs to be done.

鈥淚mmediate action should be taken to:

• Increase oversight and accountability for officers who violate the department鈥檚 use of force policies. Support reforms to ensure the Police Conduct Oversight Commission has the authority to discipline and fire officers as needed.
• Retrain the entire department on use of force.
• Increase training on de-escalation.
• Implement a new body camera policy that mandates activation at the beginning of every interaction with members of the public.
• Include clear, significant discipline for officers who violate the body camera policy.
• Stop prioritizing low-level arrests.
• Increase the department鈥檚 accountability by releasing all data on stops and arrests to the public.
• Fully implement the recommendations found in the and the.
