Cincinnati Police Department (Ohio)
Summary:
In May 2001, the Division opened an investigation into the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) in Ohio. In October 2001, the Division identified the need for improvements in use of force policies, reporting and review; accountability systems, officer discipline, data collection, and transparency; and training. Negotiations were integrated with ongoing negotiations regarding a lawsuit brought by private plaintiffs. In April 2002, the Division entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the City of Cincinnati. The Division’s MOA was incorporated into a consent decree settling the private lawsuit, which together became known as the “Collaborative Agreement.” The Collaborative Agreement provided for a single monitoring team to oversee implementation of the reforms in both the Department’s MOA and the broader Collaborative Agreement. The Division’s MOA was terminated in April 2007 and the broader Collaborative Agreement was terminated in August 2008.
