Ikran Mohamed Becomes the First Woman Somali American Police Officer to join Minneapolis Police Department

MINNEAPOLIS – Today marks a significant milestone for the Minneapolis Police Department and the Somali American community as Ikran Mohamed was sworn in as the first Somali American woman police officer to serve and join Minneapolis police force. The ceremony took place at the Minneapolis Indian American Center, where a crowd of supporters gathered to celebrate this historic moment.

Among the attendees were Minneapolis Police Chief, the mayor, city council members, family members, community leaders, and fellow law enforcement officials. The presence of such a diverse group highlighted the importance of this occasion not just for Mohamed, but for the broader community and other officers that was sworn in.

Ikran Mohamed’s joins other Somali women officers who work for Metro Transit Police Department and Saint Paul Police Department. In 2014 Khadra Mohamed became the first Somali-American woman to join the St. Paul Police Department, and the first Somali-American women to be a police officer in Minnesota, a move made possible by the department’s announcement that it has approved an option for employees to wear a police-issued hijab. These officers not only break barriers but also serve as an inspiration for young women and aspiring officers within the Somali American community and beyond. Ikran’s achievement represents progress in diversifying law enforcement and fostering stronger community relations.

During the ceremony, Chief of Police emphasized the importance of representation within the police force, noting how it strengthens trust and engagement with the community. The mayor also spoke about the significance of this milestone, highlighting the need for police departments to reflect the communities they serve.

Mohamed expressed her gratitude and determination in her new role, stating her commitment to serving and protecting all members of the Minneapolis community. Her aspirations extend beyond her duties as a police officer; she aims to build bridges between the police and the communities they serve.

As Ikran Mohamed embarks on her career, her groundbreaking achievement serves as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity in law enforcement. It is a hopeful step towards a future where diversity is celebrated, and everyone has a voice in shaping their community.
Today, Ikran Mohamed makes history—not only as a police officer but as a symbol of hope and change for many.
