Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau has talked a great deal about "transparency." This is a slightly different take. She's ordered all MPD personnel (civilian and sworn) to sign the attached document regarding release of information on "active criminal investigations." In a memo attached Chief Harteau writes that releasing information on active cases could result in internal (read: discipline) or external (read: prosecution) mechanisms. This is a response to a number of leaks in the department in the last few months, including the Terrance Franklin shooting. So what do you think? Is this just 'chain of command' stuff, or should we read something more into it. Comments could make tonight's newscast.
