This week, CrimeWatchMpls entered its 16th year of providing you with critical public safety and livability info you can’t get anywhere else. Crime Watch was launched in Aug. 2010 specifically in response to government secrecy and lack of transparency about crime, in order to provide info to the public that’s being hidden, difficult to obtain, and ignored by “mainstream” media. Sadly, we’ve watched this city, county, and state spiral continuously down the toilet into greater secrecy and lack of transparency, even at a time over the last 5 years when accessible public safety information has never been more important to the public (while our ridiculous media miserably fails to report the truth). It’s government fiduciary negligence, and we deserve better. Crime Watch will continue to do what it can in reporting info you will never get from anyone else, but your voices are needed in contacting your reps on every level to demand an end to the secrecy. Also, we simply must start recruiting better candidates to run for office who will uphold public safety openness and truly represent the people. Thanks for following.

3/ Only on Crime Watch: A source tells us that the murder in NE Minneapolis on Wilson Street early Sunday "spilled out from an unlicensed Somali hookah lounge being run out of the back of a warehouse space" that houses an autism center by day 🤔 We'll be digging into that.
