“We believe it is very important for the public to be heard as part of the democratic process and we realize the law enforcement community needs public support to be effective. Protecting constitutional rights is a fundamental function of the MPD.

The Minneapolis Police Department plans on assisting with demonstrations or marches. Our support may come in the form of rerouting traffic or providing logistical support (if requested) to keep demonstrators and the general public safe.



We ask for everyone’s help in maintaining a safe and secure city while respecting private property.

Any group that would like to ask for the Minneapolis Police Department’s assistance is encouraged to do so via email, by contacting us directly at police@minneapolismn.gov.”-Chief Janeé Harteau, Minneapolis Police Department
