St. Paul, Minn. — Four legislative committees convene next week to discuss a new report alleging widespread misconduct and even criminal behavior by members of the now-disbanded Metro Gang Strike Force.

The report from a former FBI agent and a former federal prosecutor has been forwarded to the FBI. The 35-member gang unit included officers from 13 agencies around the Twin Cities.

Minnesota Public Radio News reporter Tim Nelson discusses the next steps with Morning Edition's Cathy Wurzer.
