Law enforcement leaders rip Biden DOJ as 'anti-police' due to new actions monitoring police departments
Fox News
Law enforcement leaders are strongly responding to new actions recently announced by the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the monitoring of police departments, saying they will “hamstring” officers and are pandering to an anti-police narrative.
Garland said that "more is needed" beyond federal "pattern-or-practice" investigations into police departments and resulting consent decrees, which is worrisome to those in the law enforcement community.
"Those investigations and the resulting settlements have led to significant improvements in police departments across the country. That, in turn, increases community trust, which is essential to making your difficult jobs safer and more effective," Garland said during the announcement. "It is also no secret that the monitorships associated with some of those settlements have led to frustrations and concerns within the law enforcement community."
