Case Summary

The judge overseeing the city of Cleveland’s federal consent decree on reforms to the Cleveland Division of Police rejected the city’s request to end the decree that’s been in effect for more than a decade. In the order released late Friday afternoon, Judge Solomon Oliver wrote that "the city has a ways to go before reaching Substantial and Effective Compliance with all of the material sections of the agreement.” Cleveland entered into the agreement in 2015 after a U.S. Department of Justice investigation determined Cleveland police engaged in a pattern of excessive force and civil rights violations. The consent decree laid out hundreds of reforms.
