Hello Minneapolis, One other interesting note that is worthy of mention: As we all know, 71 new officers are to be hired by the MPD. Deputy Chief Harris indicated that 72 applications from OUTSIDE Minneapolis have already been received by the Department. How many applications have been received from the citizens of Minneapolis? Oh, that's right... we can't find qualified applicants here in our own city. With the largest campus in the country at the U of MN...with St. Thomas, St. Catherine's, Hamline, and so many other colleges in the Metropolitan area we cannot seem to locate any qualified applicants. How is that even possible?
