Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara Resigns Amid Internal Investigation
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara has resigned following an internal investigation into his conduct, as announced by Mayor Frey. The investigation revealed that O'Hara interfered with a prior investigation by deleting a contact card from his city-issued phone, which was seen as an attempt to shield evidence. Although the original allegations of engaging in intimate relationships with city employees were not substantiated, his interference was deemed a significant breach of trust. Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell has been appointed as the acting police chief. O'Hara, who was re-nominated by Frey earlier this month, had been serving as chief since November 2022. The resignation has sparked criticism from City Council members, who questioned the decision to re-nominate O'Hara amidst ongoing investigations.
