Minneapolis neighborhood plans to pay for extra police patrols [View all]
Minneapolis neighborhood plans to pay for extra police patrols
A group of neighbors in south Minneapolis is taking matters into their own hands to increase policing in their neighborhood.
The group is raising money to pay for extra patrols in the Lowry Hill neighborhood, performed by city officers working overtime.
The program, which was approved by city council last week, would run through the end of the year, the Minneapolis Police Department continues to work to cover a staffing shortage.
The leaders behind the initiative say the actual number of extra police on patrol will depend on how much money they raise and how many officers sign up for the extra shifts.

New idea- neighborhoods compete for police, highest bidder gets patrols. You're poor? Good luck, get a dog.
