明尼阿波利斯市议会就代理警察局长彼得森转正举行听证 近50人发言、仅3名议员公开支持
明尼阿波利斯市议会公共卫生、安全与公平委员会11月5日就市长雅各布·弗雷（Jacob Frey）提名代理警察局长比尔·彼得森（Bill Peterson）转正举行公开听证，近50名市民发言，意见有支持也有保留。委员会随后将提名无推荐意见地送交全体会议，下周四（11月12日）将继续提问并表决。
彼得森自1995年9月18日起在明尼阿波利斯警察局任职，前任局长布赖恩·奥哈拉（Brian O'Hara）今年5月辞职后由他出任代理局长。弗雷于10月9日正式提名他担任常任局长。
目前仅有三名市议员公开表示支持彼得森。他的任命须获得市议会至少7票才能通过。（来源：明尼阿波利斯市议会）
Minneapolis council hears public on interim chief Bill Peterson's nomination; about 50 speak, only three members publicly supportive
The Minneapolis City Council's Public Health, Safety and Equity Committee held a public hearing on November 5 on Mayor Jacob Frey's nomination of interim Police Chief Bill Peterson to the permanent post. Nearly 50 residents spoke, with views both supportive and skeptical. The committee then forwarded the nomination to the full council without a recommendation; further questioning and a vote are set for the council meeting next Thursday, November 12.
Peterson has served with the Minneapolis Police Department since September 18, 1995, and became interim chief after Chief Brian O'Hara resigned in May. Frey formally nominated him on October 9.
So far only three council members have publicly backed Peterson. His appointment requires at least seven votes on the City Council. (Source: Minneapolis City Council)
