*Over the weekend, Bender and several of her colleagues [expressed their intent]('https://nypost.com/2020/06/04/minneapolis-city-council-members-pledge-to-dismantle-police-department/') to drastically change how public safety is upheld in the city.
Bender [told the Minneapolis Star Tribune]('https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-city-council-to-vote-on-first-changes-to-police/571032682/?refresh=true') that she envisions replacing a traditional police department with a broader, more holistic public safety department geared toward violence prevention and community services. Social workers or medics could respond to situations once handled by police, she said.*
