A new advisory board in Brooklyn Center will offer recommendations to the city on policing and public safety. City council members approved the Community Safety and Violence Prevention Commission on Monday.

Their 4-1 vote came after months of debate over whether to move forward with the commission. It is one of the last surviving proposals from a 2021 resolution that the city council passed in response to the killing of Daunte Wright. The Brooklyn Center officer who shot Wright during a traffic stop said she had meant to use her taser and was later convicted of manslaughter.

Brooklyn Center Mayor April Graves was a council member at that time. She joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the city’s reform efforts and how they have shifted along with the political climate.
