Minneapolis included coalition of agencies and community partners in Operation Memphis

[KSTP, March 29, 2023] During the week leading up to the release of Memphis Police body camera video, the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety built a coalition of more than 50 law enforcement agencies. Planning for “Operation Memphis” included church leaders and community groups. 

Office of Community Safety Commissioner Cedric Alexander told KSTP “Operation Memphis” would not have been successful without the participation of community groups working in neighborhoods.

Alexander said the coalition also included the Downtown Council, Allina Health, the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“This is all a great part of the work we’re trying to do in building and maintaining those relationships and making sure that our entire community was involved,” said Alexander.
