Metropolitan Police Department (District of Columbia)
Summary:
In February 1999, the Division opened an investigation into the Metropolitan Police Department (MPDC) in Washington, D.C. In June 2001, the Division identified a pattern or practice of excessive force linked to inadequate use of force policies and training; deficient supervision of officers; and inadequate systems of accountability. The parties entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA), including the appointment of an independent monitor. The independent monitorship terminated in April 2008, although under a transition agreement MPDC provided on-going reporting on certain provisions of the MOA until February 2012.
