- Now for an update from Washington.
The U.S. Department of Justice
is announcing changes to the program
that produced a federal draft review of the Milwaukee
Police Department earlier this month.
The DOJ's Collaborative Reform Initiative helps police
departments introduce reforms and improve trust between the
departments and their communities.
The announced changes would shift federal focus from
improving these relations to helping departments with police
procedure such as providing active shooter training.
The changes stem from a memo released by Attorney General
Jeff Sessions which outlines goals of the department that
include promoting officer safety and morale.
The memo does not include provisions for improving public
trust in the police.
