MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — (MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.) -- A little more than two years after the murder of George Floyd, the Minneapolis Police Department is looking for a new police chief, according to a nationwide search notification obtained by ABC News.
The notification states the job opening as a “rare and incredible opportunity to lead a police agency in a major U.S. city eager to make comprehensive and positive changes that build community trust and ensure public safety.”
Prior to Huffman, Madaria Arradondo served as chief from 2017 to 2022 before retiring that year. Arradondo was chief during the murder of Floyd and the subsequent protests across the city. However, the ruling from the Minnesota Supreme Court asserts that Mayor Jacob Frey has not reached the 731 sworn officer limit that is required by the state, based on Minneapolis’ population
"Our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department, to end policing as we know it and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe," City Council President Lisa Bender said at a rally in June 2020.
