The city of Minneapolis has hired an outside law firm to investigate three complaints filed against Police Chief Brian O'Hara, less than one year into his tenure. All three complaints were filed with the Office of Police Conduct Review, a division of the Civil Rights Department that vets allegations of officer misconduct. Those complaints were then referred to the Office of the Commissioner of Community Safety (OCS) — as is standard under policy for formal complaints against a sitting chief — where leaders have discretion over whether to consult outside counsel.
