Past work

You can see the background, history and planning timeline of the 3rd Precinct building.

Background

George Floyd was killed at 38th Street East and Chicago Avenue South on May 25, 2020. This incident happened within the 3rd Precinct area. Former officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder in Floyd’s death on April 20, 2021. 

In the days that followed, police vacated the 3rd Precinct building at 3000 Minnehaha Ave. The building experienced extensive damage.

In 2023, we gathered community feedback on whether we should reestablish the Third Precinct building at Lake & Minnehaha or at an alternative location.
