Investigative Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — During a two-hour court hearing Wednesday, the new federal monitor overseeing Cleveland Police reforms rebuked the city for failing to inform his team or the DOJ about changes to the collective bargaining agreement that impact how officers are disciplined.
Racine and members of his team also said Cleveland could be further along in efforts to reach full compliance with the consent decree if the city were more cooperative, proactive, and transparent. The federal judge also said Cleveland may need to amend its new agreement with the two main police unions regarding discipline in order to adhere to the requirements of the consent decree.
"I think that the men and women of CPD should be very proud of that progress and that we are moving forward towards implementation of areas that were previously unheard of in the City of Cleveland," she said. During the hearing and in the report, the monitoring team also noted areas where progress has stalled or received downgraded compliance ratings.
The report said the training officers currently receive may be part of the problem. During an in-service training class observed by members of the monitoring team, the report said they"observed a lack of engagement by participants, poor classroom management, and omissions of significant portions of the curriculum.""I would argue that it is happening," she said.
