Minneapolis on Monday agreed to systemic reforms to its police department and to submit to outside oversight after a U.S. federal investigation spurred by the 2020 murder of George Floyd uncovered a pattern of civil rights abuses.

The deal incorporates and builds on changes the Minneapolis Police Department has made since the death of George Floyd.

The Minneapolis City Council has approved a consent decree agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that will implement major reform within the Minneapolis Police Department. The agreement comes after a two-year investigation from the DOJ into the MPD's patterns and practices.
