Minneapolis file 2026-00884, before the Minneapolis City Council. Passed as of 2026-08-21.

Latest action: Published

What it does

Task force investigators get paid for extra hours The city reimburses the state $10,000 for overtime pay and benefits for trafficking task force members through June 2028.

The bigger picture

Strengthens partnership between city and state police More funding for overtime lets the task force work longer hours on trafficking cases, which may improve investigation capacity across the region.

What to watch

Limited to two years; larger staffing needs unclear The contract ends June 2028, so sustained anti-trafficking work depends on future budget approvals, and $10,000 covers only overtime—not new full-time positions.

Official summary
