MPR News learned that the Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Amir Locke during a no-knock raid in 2022 is responsible for leading the police department’s use of force training.

The head of the police department said he understands why the choice of Sgt. Mark Hanneman to do this type of training will concern some people - but said Hanneman is the right person for the job.

However, the decision to put Hanneman in that position upset members of Locke’s family and others who say it hurts MPD’s efforts to reform police culture and repair community relations.
