Minneapolis considers moving MPD's 3rd precinct HQ to downtown's Century Plaza
MINNEAPOLIS – There's a new option on the table for police officers who serve a large portion of Minneapolis.
The 3rd police precinct headquarters burned during the riots following the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

The city had suggested rebuilding the precinct in that original space, or building a new one up the street. Some neighbors said they did not like either option.
Monday, the city proposed a new location: Century Plaza in downtown Minneapolis.

The location is farther north than the first proposals, but near the border of the first and third precincts.
The Minneapolis City Council will discuss the options Tuesday. They will eventually make the final decision about how to move forward.
