Overview
- The Department of Public Safety announced retention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police to conduct an independent after-action review of the June 14 attacks.
- The work is expected to take about six months and cost $429,500, with $210,000 from the state, $165,000 from Hennepin County, and smaller shares from Brooklyn Park, Champlin, and New Hope, with the report to be released publicly.
- Participating agencies include the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Minnesota State Patrol, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, and the police departments of Brooklyn Park, Champlin, and New Hope.
- A draft joint powers agreement directs agencies to provide policies, dispatch logs, and incident reports, and to retain June 14 emails and Microsoft Teams chats for up to two years or until the review concludes.
- The review centers on the 43-hour span from Hope Hoffman’s 911 call to Vance Boelter’s arrest; Boelter faces multiple federal indictments and state murder and attempted-murder charges.
