Cleveland consent decree

Cleveland City Council's Safety Committee held the proposal after raising several concerns about non-municipal police departments in the city.

The court applauded the city and the Department of Justice's decision to hold back from adding all the CPC's new authority into the consent decree.

The city had publicly posted a different crisis intervention policy than a court-approved version for four years before being pressured to take it down.

The agreement outlines changes to the consent decree to bring it into agreement with the charter amendment passed in November.

The 2022 Monitoring Plan was filed in federal court Wednesday, with a March 17 hearing on the consent decree approaching.

White says it's a good time for him to leave the job as "fresh eyes" are needed.

The amendment shifts control of police discipline and policies into civilian hands.

As assistant monitor, he will help audit and assess consent decree compliance.

In the wake of the forced departure of Ayesha Bell Hardaway from the Cleveland Police Monitoring team—the outside agency that examines Cleveland’s progress under the federal consent decree—two prominent Black organizations are calling for the monitor himself to be replaced.
