The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) is the police department for the city of Minneapolis in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Centrally headquartered at City Hall in Downtown Minneapolis since 1867, it is the first and oldest police department in the state. MPD's history is linked closely to twin city Saint Paul with the state's second oldest police force. A short-lived Board of Police Commissioners existed from 1887 to 1890. The modern department is organized into three bureaus all reporting to Chief of Police Tim Dolan and Assistant Chief of Police Sharon Lubinski. The city is served through five precincts with 800 sworn officers and 300 civilian employees from the Minneapolis Police Reserve auxiliary unit. At the city's population peak, MPD served over 521,000 people, and today serves over 377,000 people as of the last Census estimate. Other independent protection organizations serve the city, identified as partner law enforcement agencies, these are the University of Minnesota Police Department (UMPD), Minneapolis Park Police, Metro Transit Police, and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.
