All indications are that Officer Matthew Harrity (Noor's partner) has cooperated fully with the investigation and GJ process.
Here's another link to the warrant, which has quite a lot of commentary about what Officer Harrity told them:

Prairie Wind is correct above-- County Attorney Freeman in his lengthy press conference discussed the lack of cooperation of other officers besides Harrity-- and commented that these uncooperative officers were advised not to cooperate by the Police Union representatives. However, union rep Bob Kroll disputes that:

Freeman: Uncooperative officers left 'no choice' but to use grand jury
During a question-and-answer portion of Tuesday's press conference Freeman claimed the Police Officers' Federation, the law enforcement union for the city, advised the officers involved not to speak with BCA investigators. According to a statement from POFM President Bob Kroll, that wasn't the case.
"The Federation takes great exception to this irresponsible statement," the statement reads. "The Federation's duty is to protect the rights of its members and fully advise them of what their rights are. No opinions were offered on what action to take with any of our members. For Mr. Freeman to say this, he is either lying or perpetuating a lie told to him."

The really, really interesting thing to ponder is the SILENCE of Lt. Bob Kroll as to his support of former officer Noor (Noor was separated from MPD as of yesterday, according to Chief Arradondo's public comments). Bob Kroll is typically VERY publicly outspoken in supporting officers when there is a controversy. It is simply astounding that Kroll has not said a single thing in support of Noor, IMO. He is protecting his OTHER officers by his silence on Noor, IMO. He likely doesn't want any of them dragged into this, and it's possible that he or the other officers are not at all in support of what happened, or they all could have serious doubts about Noor's behavior or competence as an officer that they *cannot* verbalize publicly because of how Noor was so widely celebrated as the first Somali officer.
The other officers, and the union, are in a terrible catch 22. They cannot support Noor or his actions, and they cannot criticize Noor or his actions. So they must remain as silent as possible-- it's their only option. Nobody is willing to stick out their neck,or their reputation, for Noor. That says volumes.
Not a single officer has even said something innocuous like "Noor is such a great guy", or "Noor is such a hard worker", or "Noor is always so friendly to others". Complete radio silence from every single person at MPD. No one from Noor's police academy classes has made a statement about being his classmate, and what a hard worker he was, or something simple like that which would at least signal friendship and emotional support. That is huge. I think Noor was probably a loner. JMO.

A few more quotes from the arraignment hearing today. There is some dispute as to whether Noor is a flight risk. As of this evening, there is no evidence in the news that Noor has posted bail. (10% of $400K would be $40K.)
The prosecution argued that the former Minneapolis police officer’s bail should be $500,000 because he posed a flight risk, citing evidence that he might have left the country during the eight-month investigation of the fatal shooting.
Noor’s lawyer, Thomas Plunkett, called the prosecution’s bail request outrageous, saying there was no evidence to suggest that his client left the U.S.
In the end, Judge Kathryn Quaintance set Noor’s bail at $400,000 on the condition that he surrender his passport and firearms and refrain from contacting the Minneapolis Police Department and his former partner, Matthew Harrity, the only witness to the July 15 shooting.

Noor was formally charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter. At his first appearance, the judge set his bail at $500,000 or $400,000 if he abides by certain conditions, including no contact with his former partner, Officer Matthew Harrity, no guns, no ammunition and the surrender of his passport.
But, prosecutors countered that Noor is a flight risk because he is no longer employed by the Minneapolis Police Department and therefore has little reason to stay in the community if released from jail. They mentioned that during the investigation, they had credible information that Noor might have left the country or at very least, the jurisdiction.
Plunkett said that was not the case. He said Noor has cooperated throughout the investigative process and that he came to Minnesota from Somalia as a young child and this is all he knows.

** Regarding Noor possibly leaving the country or the jurisdiction, he is separated from the mother of his child, who moved out of the area with the child, according to articles from a few months ago. I'm wondering if he traveled to visit his child? IDK if he was under a no-travel restriction while on administrative leave. Some articles say he was divorced; others say he was never legally married, but in a custody dispute.
Noor's job as a police officer did not give him a consistent work schedule, but he said in court documents that he made every effort to be with his son when he wasn't working. In 2015, the boy's mother tried to take him to New Jersey, and the legal battle over custody intensified. Noor said in an affidavit that his son was important to him and he did not want the boy to move.
