Grand Rapids Police Chief Scott Johnson

https://www.cityofgrandrapidsmn.com/police-department-home

During our extra hour of the Monday Morning Show we talked about local law enforcement with GR Police Chief Scott Johnson.  We asked about the department's policy on choke holds, de-escalation, the future of police officers and more.  Have a question for him?  Send it our way! Or send us your ideas on policing now and the future.

Walker Orenstein of MinnPost had an article today called "How Common Is It for MN Police Departments to Authorize Chokeholds, 'Neck Restraints'?".
