Minneapolis Police Chief Search Underway

Minneapolis is in a leadership transition as interim Police Chief Bill Peterson takes the reins after Brian OHara’s abrupt resignation amid an investigation into alleged misconduct — including deleting a work contact and breaching confidentiality. The mayor has launched a 16-week, six-phase national search to find a permanent chief by October or November, prioritizing someone who can rebuild trust, support officers, and tackle crime. Peterson has already made it clear he won’t seek the permanent role, underscoring the city’s urgency to find the right leader for the department’s future.
