Minneapolis police would receive raises and $7,000 payments under a new contract - which still requires approval from the City Council.

Minneapolis police would receive raises and $7,000 payments under a tentative contract agreement reached months after voters rejected a proposal to replace the department following George Floyd's murder.

The new contract would also require officers to undergo a mental health screening before returning to work following a "critical incident" - when they are seriously harmed or seriously harm or kill someone else - and includes some provisions related to discipline.

The city hasn't yet released a copy of the full agreement, only a summary of it. Additional details could be released Monday, when the City Council's Policy and Government Oversight Committee is set to discuss the matter.
