Derek Chauvin isn t the only one on trial this month. So is the state of policing in Minneapolis. The system itself has to come out and say, We apologize, we want to work with you. We want to own the mistakes we have done, said Raj Sethuraju, a community activist and professor at Metropolitan State University.
Any transformation requires changes to an obscure state agency that oversees licensing and training of officers.
It’s called the Minnesota Peace Officers Standards and Training Board, or the POST Board.
Elected officials and community leaders say the POST board lacks real authority, with no oversight of department-level training and the inability to collect complete data about complaints against officers across the state.
