“After passing a resolution declaring racism a public health crisis, the council took a half hour to mull over a nonbinding resolution requesting MNPD adopt a new zero-tolerance policy for sexual misconduct. The policy propped up in the council’s legislation was put together by the Community Review Board and approved by its members three weeks ago. ‘Four years ago, we began this conversation when Ms. McClain came to the Women’s Caucus to say that there were issues going on in MNPD where women were feeling that they could not report incidents because they were suffering from retaliation,’ resolution sponsor Joy Styles explained to her colleagues. At the time, a protocol allowing people to file complaints anonymously was put in place; still, supporters of the new policy expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of MNPD’s current sexual misconduct policy during last night’s meeting.” (09/18/24)
