U.S. Department of Justice officials said that part of Cleveland's new contract with the police union violates the consent decree.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb’s contract agreement with the police unions violates the consent decree aimed at reforming policing, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
If a civilian-complaint investigation finds a higher-level violation, the officer can face the city’s disciplinary guidelines, previously approved by U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver. He has overseen the reform efforts for more than eight years. She conceded that some of the lowest-level offenses are not of serious concern, like if an officer is found using coarse language. But others are, she said, such as officers failing to show up to a mandatory court appearance, working moonlighting shifts without approval and committing minor misdemeanors.
“There’s no excuse for the city not informing the monitoring team and the Justice Department,” Racine said.
