The Duluth Police Department embraces our social contract with our community and works collaboratively to co-produce neighborhood safety. 

After the tragic death of George Floyd, our community requested we review our Use of Force policy to ensure we are aligned with best practices in the policing industry. Many of the recommendations were in place; however, some of our practices were not memorialized in policy.  

The internal review added new language, clarity, and direction to best guide operations, allowing DPD to continue to be a leader in policing.
