MINNEAPOLIS -- The U.S. Department of Justice is in Minneapolis this week, hosting meetings as they work on a plan to keep the community at the forefront of changes regarding the Minneapolis Police Department.

The DOJ is hosting these community meetings with the main purpose of listening. They want to hear from the people who live and work in Minneapolis to share their suggestions to create real change.

Earlier this month, a two-year DOJ investigation sparked after the murder of George Floyd found the City of Minneapolis and its police department have engaged in practices that deprive residents -- specifically Black and Native American residents -- of their rights.
