Field notes
By Design groups its reporting into Policing, Media, Education, Government, and Minneapolis, giving the project a clear route through a relatively small but substantive archive. The homepage identifies a source base that includes MPD emails, incident reports, 911 transcripts, internal communications, and federal-local law-enforcement agreements requested from November 2025 through February 4, 2026. Articles are credited to Molly Priesmeyer, and the site offers both open reading and email subscription.
