Data Practices Request
Good morning,
Because of the high profile nature of the officer involved shooting of July 15, 2017, the public documents relating to the investigation have been made available through the Minneapolis Police Department website and do not require a data practices request. The MPD Records & Reports page contains download links for Frequently Requested Public Information<http://www.minneapolismn.gov/police/records/frequent>*. Here you will find links to the public information relating to this case and other high profile cases. Though the initial trial of former Officer Noor has ended, he has chosen to appeal his conviction and therefore the case file will remain active and not public. More documents may become available once Noor's appeals have been exhausted.
Thank you,

Good morning,
Though the case has gone to trial, and Mr. Noor has been sentenced, he still has an opportunity to appeal his conviction. Because of this, the case is not considered fully closed and some documents remain restricted. The appeal window is 90 days from conviction, which in this case means the opportunity to appeal expires in September 2019. Once the appeal window is over, the case will be considered closed and additional documents may be made available. As for records introduced through the course of the trial, that data would be maintained by the Hennepin County Court system. They can be found here<http://www.mncourts.gov/Help-Topics/Data-Requests.aspx>*.
