Operation Safety Net was a multi-agency collaboration that was formed to plan for the trial of Derrick Chauvin. This presentation will address that planning and execution of the trial and preparations. During the Trial Officer Kim Potter fatally shot Daunte Wright kicking off mass violent protests in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis. We will address how we shifted resources from one venue that was prepared for a large-scale riot to another that had no preparations. We will outline how the preparations from the Chauvin Trial were able to be shifted to a new location and the issues that came to light with the transition. We had partnerships that spanned the state from very small agencies to the use of the National Guard for select missions. When the mission shifted from a court trial to an active crime scene with thousands of protesters, the months of planning and tabletops proved to be invaluable for the mission shift. We conducted AARs with all personnel and had an external audit of our performance, this led to solidifying future planning and training groups.

PRESENTERS: Major Shane Magnuson, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, and Captain Mike Jerde, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office
