The Brooklyn Park Police Department does not reflect the diversity of the community, with few officers of color, particularly African American officers. Drawing on a review of literature, an assessment of current recruitment efforts and departmental values in the Brooklyn Park Police Department, and an analysis of characteristics that define successful police candidates, students in Dr. Deniz Ones’ Staffing and Personnel Selection class identified strategies to increase officer diversity within the department. The students’ final report is available.enlocal governmentsustainabilityBrooklyn ParkpolicediversityCity of Ramsey Projects, 2017-2018Report
