Minneapolis Cops Get Guide to Policy Violation Penalties
Effective October 1 Minneapolis Police officers will have new guidelines for discipline if they violate any policies. It took the past year for Police Officers Federation to develop the discipline matrix. An email sent to officers said the new matrix will encourage respect and trust among department employees and the community. The matrix may be made public but the Federation has not made a decision of that yet.

Hi Sarah--
Your news summary got my attention because the Minneapolis police department has come under scrutiny lately. I believe there’s been a couple cases of police brutality that's involved taser guns. Even though there’s many fine officers out there, maybe this new policy will clarify the expected standards and ensure consistent and fair discipline.

Your summary was really interesting because it's about policing the police. I like that idea. I think the community will trust and respect the police more now that they know the police have guidelines for discipline too.
Grade: 9.5/10
Mistake: Date should be Oct. 1
