Tell your Phoenix Councilmembers NO to the DOJ Consent Decree!
The City of Phoenix is close to receiving a Consent Decree from the crooked DOJ.
There are PROVEN strategies the community can use to STOP it!
The DOJ has wide latitude on who and how it engages in this process and what evidence it uses in its investigation. They aren't even required to "prove" the findings.
The targeted police department can defend itself against the DOJ or agree to them and spend years and millions of dollars $$$$$ satisfying the terms.
Additionally, a critically understaffed department will experience another mass police exodus.

Albuquerque signed a settlement agreement in 2014 after a federal investigation that followed several officer-involved shootings. But today, many elected officials and Albuquerque residents are critical of what they see as a lack of progress, as well as the cost.
- Republican U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell in February urged Garland to end the consent decree, noting that the city has spent nearly $25 million on it, including $10 million in monitor payments, and it hasn’t resulted in less crime: Albuquerque saw a record number of homicides in 2021.
- “This consent decree has been in place for over seven years, cost millions of dollars, and failed to make our state’s largest city safer or improve officer retention,” Herrell wrote.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell on Thursday called for an end to a decade of federal oversight of the city's police, saying officers are in "handcuffs" and leaving the force.
- “The consent decree handcuffs our officers by making their jobs harder, pestering them with punitive punishment and burying them with paperwork that is an overburden,” Cantrell told reporters alongside Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson.
