(Minneapolis, MN) -- The Minnesota Supreme Court says Minneapolis doesn't have enough police officers.
The court ruled Monday that the city of Minneapolis is meeting its funding obligations, but isn't employing a minimum of 731 officers.
Last November, voters rejected a proposal to eliminate the city's requirement to fund and employ a minimum number of officers based on census data. The proposal also cleared the way to replace the police department with a new agency.
Mayor Jacob Frey or city attorneys will have to explain why they haven't met their obligations at a hearing later this month.
