Sometimes when making calls or sending out emails as your friendly neighborhood public safety reporter, I’m mistaken for Golden Gophers running back Mohamed Ibrahim.

While I may not have nearly 1,600 rushing yards under my belt this past year like the other Mohamed Ibrahim, I have been busy covering issues related to public safety in the Twin Cities, like how the Minneapolis Police Department plans to use drones, how police departments across the metro have dealt with staffing shortages in recent years, and how the Hennepin County attorney and sheriff races have played out.

Heading into the new year, my coverage is expected to include policing reforms being tested by agencies around the metro, the ensuing consent decree agreement between the City of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, and the expected end of the Department of Justice investigation into MPD.

But to continue bringing you public safety coverage that goes beyond the news of the day, providing more analysis and explaining the why behind what is happening, we need your help.

  1. Do an article on cars, the high costs esp financing and how it often results in crime. NYT had a good piece on it today

  2. Ben Southwood has a great article to elaborate on. Found it thru Marginal Revolution “How Bad is Crime?.
