SNG Statement Regarding 3rd Precinct

To All Whom It Concerns:

The Seward Neighborhood Group supports the Longfellow Community Council’s call for a delay in any decision regarding the location of a 3rd Precinct building, and for a comprehensive community outreach process regarding the future of policing in the 3rd Precinct.

At this time the Seward Neighborhood Group opposes locating a 3rd Precinct building at either 3000 Minnehaha Avenue or 2600 Minnehaha Avenue.

Further, the Seward Neighborhood Group requests that the City of Minneapolis pilot new ideas for the delivery of public safety services in the 3rd Precinct, including but not limited to a decentralized approach to housing 3rd Precinct staff.
