MINNEAPOLIS—Ikran Mohamed becomes the first Somali-American woman sworn in as Minneapolis police officer. Ikran is a member of the city’s most recent graduating class of recruits.
When she was sworn in on Thursday night, she became the first Somali-American woman to join the forces. Ikran went to the United States from Kenya when she was 10 years old.
“I’m just very excited to be here and represent my people and my community. I am very happy and privileged to be an MPD officer,” Ikran said, flanked by her pride-filled family members.
