Taking Care of Cops Is Taking Care of Community: A Conversation with MPD Bureau Chief Ganesha Martin

from Conversations with Chanda · host Chanda Smith Baker

Ganesha Martin is the Bureau Chief of Constitutional Policing at the Minneapolis Police Department — one of the first civilians to hold an executive rank in MPD — and a nationally recognized police reform leader who served as Deputy Mayor of Public Safety in Baltimore and helped guide that city through its federal consent decree. She joins Chanda to talk about how she got into this work, what Minneapolis's settlement agreement and consent decree actually require, what Community Violence Intervention looks like when it's done right, and why "trust" needs a clearer definition.Find us:https://conversationswithchanda.com/IG @chandasbaker & @conversationswithchanda
