Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday that the Justice Department will be taking a series of new actions regarding the monitoring of police departments, building on existing tools they use to get departments to comply with their standards.
Addressing the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Garland noted that the DOJ already conducts pattern-or-practice investigations of police departments, and utilizes consent decrees and monitorships to impose reforms. He then said that more is needed.
