MPD150 is an independent community-based initiative to evaluate the first 150 years of the Minneapolis Police Department. Through historical investigation, interviews and research into viable alternatives we have produced a performance review that examines the department’s past – its track record since 1867 including the failure of reform efforts; its present – its current practices and impact on community life; and the future – the necessity of dismantling its overbearing political and paramilitary power and the transfer of its resources into alternative models of community safety, well-being and resilience.

Help us mark the release of this important report. Join us for food, presentations on the real history of the MPD, and lively conversation & networking.

We are holding our event on the main floor of CTUL. The building has a ramp leading up to it and an ADA compliant, gender neutral bathroom. There is a small parking lot adjacent to the building and free on-street parking as well. It is near bus lines 5, 23, and 133.
