# Peace Officer Grievance Arbitration Roster
*A Minnesota roster of arbitrators who hear peace officer grievances.*
The project's dossier describes the **Peace Officer Grievance Arbitration Roster** as the [[Minnesota]] state roster of arbitrators who hear peace officer grievances.[^1] The pack holds no primary government record of the roster: no statute, rule, agency page or appointment order. This article therefore does not state the roster's legal basis, its administering body, its size, or how arbitrators are selected.[^1]
The roster appears in this record through one at-issue pair, AI-Ramsey-073. That pair links the roster to former [[Ramsey County Attorney]] [[Susan Gaertner]].[^2] The project's dossier records that Gaertner now serves on the roster. The pack does not contain the roster listing or the appointment record behind that statement.[^3]
## What
The dossier calls the roster the "state roster of arbitrators who hear peace officer grievances." Its routing table files the roster under the project's PELRA heading.[^1] The dossier also summarizes a finding from the project's [[Anoka]] package. That package logged arbitration-driven reinstatement as its largest control gap with no live federal instrument reaching it (finding F-5).[^1] The dossier says the Ramsey file "does not close it federally." These are the project's own findings. No court or agency in the pack has made them.[^1]
## Who
Gaertner was Ramsey County Attorney from 1995 to 2011.[^3] According to the dossier, she charged eight activists before the 2008 Republican National Convention with conspiracy to commit riot in furtherance of terrorism under Minnesota's 2002 PATRIOT Act.[^3] The dossier says she dropped the terrorism enhancements at a May 26, 2009 hearing and explained the decision as "purely as a matter of trial strategy."[^3]
The dossier then records that she serves on the roster.[^3] It cites underlying sources for these statements, but their URLs are not in the pack. The record here does not establish when she was placed on the roster or which body placed her there.[^3]
## In the at-issue record
- **AI-Ramsey-073** (rank 73, Tier V, *The County Attorney, the Sheriff, and the Arbitration Door*) pairs Gaertner's 2008–2009 charging record with her place on the roster.[^2] The pair lists two sources, one news and one record, from minnpost.com and mn.gov. Neither URL is in the pack.[^2] The pair's federal anchor is a March 2025 presidential action on eliminating information silos. The pack does not show that this order addresses the roster or Gaertner.[^2]
