<br /> <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />Mobile Field Force <br />Following the Minneapolis riots in the summer of 2020, the west metro police chiefs collectively <br />created the West Command Mobile Field Force (WCMFF). WCMMF was created to protect life <br />and property during times of civil unrest in the west metro. The mobile field force concept is <br />used all around the country. <br /> <br />The Orono Police Department has two officers who received mobile field force training and are <br />serving on the WCMMF. The officers were deployed with WCMMF to provide security to the <br />Brooklyn Center Police Department during the civil unrest following the Officer Kim Potter fatal <br />shooting of Daunte Wright. The WCMMF was utilized for approximately 10 days following the <br />shooting. <br /> <br />WCMMF was also deployed the day the verdict was expected in the Officer Derek Chauvin <br />and Officer Kim Potter trials. Officers in the mobile field force were often deployed and <br />staged in areas in the west metro in order to quickly respond to areas of civil unrest. The goal <br />was to allow for peaceful protest while attempting to preserve life and property during times of <br />civil unrest. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
