Minneapolis residents overwhelmingly rejected a measure to replace the city’s police department with a public safety force on Tuesday.
Voters rejected the measure by a margin of roughly 56% to 43%, according to the Minnesota state database. The measure proposed to alter the Minneapolis City Charter to completely eliminate the existing police department and replace it with a Department of Public Safety that would combine “public safety functions through a comprehensive public health approach.”
