Reply June 28, 2021 Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey lauded Council Member Linea Palmisano for leading a joint effort by the City's Audit Committee and Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) to study the department's Field Training Officer (FTO) program. Today Commander Darcy Horn, who oversees the MPD's Training Division, presented the findings of a report along with joint recommendations from the Audit Committee. The report identified several areas to reform and improve the FTO program and processes, including offering incentives to officers who serve as FTOs, controls for ensuring consistency across trainings, higher standards for selection to serve as an FTO, and quality assurance measures for supervisors.
