community.

• Ensure that first responders reflect the diversity of the city’s

residents.

that improves response times to police and fire calls, implements new technologies, provides operation and training opportunities, and improves communication among public safety agencies.

End Goal

Solutions and strategies to build a multidisciplinary, comprehensive system of public safety rooted in public health, community, and justice that keeps all Minneapolis residents and communities safe.

Community Engagement

Engagement Goals

• Appreciative Inquiry: Engagement activities facilitate co-creation of new systems of public safety built on

community strengths and vision of success.

• Connection: People feel connected to one another. It’s not just about the City hearing from community, but

about us being in relationship with community.

• Meaningful and Relevant Dialogue: The community feels that the dialogue has been meaningful and relevant to

their interests and daily lives. The City has clarified appropriate expectations with residents on where they can influence and where they can’t influence Council action.

• Additive Inquiry: Engagement activities build upon previous engagements and reflect what the public has

already told us on these topics

• Access to Information and Opportunities: The public has the information they need to participate in ways that

are appropriate to their experiences and lifestyles. Engagement strategies are varied and designed to accessible and meet people where they are.

• Contributions Have Impact: The public feels their input has been thoughtfully considered and sees their

contributions reflected in the plan. Residents feel a sense of pride in a system of public safety that reflects their vision and values.

• Empowering Experience: Community leadership and capacity has been built through the process. Participants in

the process develop a shared language around a public health approach to community safety

• Delight and Surprise: The process centers on curiosity and co-creation resulting in outcomes we couldn’t predict

from the beginning

• Inclusive Representation: The perspectives and participation of a broad range of community members is

equitably represented, particularly those from marginalized communities.
