The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) is taking legal action against the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST Board) for allegedly disclosing the private information of undercover officers to the Invisible Institute. In response to their initial lawsuit, the MPPOA has filed an amendment to make it a class action suit. They claim that the release of this information violates the MGDPA and puts both the officers and the communities they serve at risk. The Invisible Institute, on the other hand, argues that they collected the data through Freedom of Information Act requests and make it public as they do with other states. They maintain that it is important for the public to know the names and job histories of officers serving their communities. The case is ongoing, and both sides await the court’s ruling on the matter.
