Between 2016 and 2021, the St. Louis Park Police Department received 39 civilian complaints of police misconduct, with 33% ruled in favor of civilians. During this period, there were two police-involved shootings, resulting in a higher rate than 92% of U.S. police departments. Additionally, 47% of all arrests were for low-level, non-violent offenses from 2013 to 2021. The department has faced challenges in tracking data related to use-of-force incidents and racial disparities, which has been a point of concern for city council members seeking to inform future policymaking.
