https://www.startribune.com/mayor-law-enforcement-partnership-launch-new-initiative-to-curb-violent-crime-in-minneapolis/600209407/Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and a group of local law enforcement officials announced a new strategy Thursday that they say will help thwart the rise of violent crime in the city.
Calling public safety "the paramount issue" in Minneapolis now, Frey outlined a plan he said will use data to more efficiently deploy the city's depleted resources into high-crime areas as part of a partnership of police, prosecutors and violence interrupters.
"Safety is not a priority right now on the agenda it is the priority," he said. "It is the thing I think about every morning when I wake up. It is the last thing I think about before we go to sleep."
Frey announced "Operation Endeavor" at a news conference in downtown Minneapolis while standing alongside Minneapolis Public Safety Commissioner Cedric Alexander, several police inspectors, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, U.S. Marshal Eddie Frizell and others. Although he offered few specifics, Frey said the strategy will focus on greater day-to-day partnerships among disparate city, county, state and federal agencies that will allow a more nimble approach with police staffing down.

Wondering if we'll ever hear about this operation again, or if we'll get one or two articles about how they're "assessing" it before it, too, fades away, into the mists of promised reform that never comes.

Yup. Smoke and mirrors so that we don't notice what is really going on. (n/t)
