明尼阿波利斯市议会推进撤销社区安全办公室提案 市长弗雷表示反对

据明尼苏达州媒体FOX 9报道,明尼阿波利斯市议会一个委员会10月13日推进一项撤销社区安全办公室(OCS)的提案。市长雅各布·弗雷表示反对,称该办公室管理心理健康应对、暴力预防与警务改革等服务,撤销将使这些服务陷入风险。OCS年度预算为1600万美元,负责人托德·巴尼特此前未获市议会续任通过,已宣布年底离职,将留任临时负责人至新任人选产生。提案定于10月27日举行公开听证,10月29日由市议会全体审议。
Minneapolis Council Advances Plan to Eliminate Office of Community Safety; Mayor Frey Objects
FOX 9 reported that a Minneapolis City Council committee advanced a proposal on October 13 to eliminate the Office of Community Safety (OCS). Mayor Jacob Frey objected, saying the office manages services such as mental health response, violence prevention and police reform, and that elimination would put them in jeopardy. OCS has a $16 million budget. Its head, Todd Barnette, who was not reappointed by the council, has announced he will resign at the end of the year and stay on as interim director until a successor is found. The proposal goes to a public hearing on October 27 and to the full council on October 29.
