The state college and university system is forming a task force to examine its law enforcement education curriculum, officials say using an “anti-racism and equity-focused lens.” Associate Vice Chancellor Satasha Green-Stephen says, “The task force will not only help to set priorities for Minnesota State regarding law enforcement education, but also has the potential to impact law enforcement across the state.”
Green-Stephen says about 86 percent of law enforcement graduates in Minnesota have their degree from a state college or university. She says Minnesota State has over 90 programs in law enforcement and related fields on 24 campuses across Minnesota.
Green-Stephen says the goal is to have recommendations for the Minnesota State chancellor and Board of Trustees at some point during the coming academic year.
