The Last Stand with the Phoenix Police Department

DOJ Consent Decrees have been one of the most destructive actions against law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. While the federal government is Constitutionally prohibited from taking control of local law enforcement, most agencies simply agree to a consent decree without seeing any evidence that it is needed.

As a DOJ Investigation comes to a conclusion in Phoenix, the city has taken a different approach. The City Council has asked to actually see the results of the investigation prior to agreeing to a federal take over of the agency.

As the DOJ has always done in the past, they refused and are asking the city to enter into a consent decree without seeing the actual evidence of need.

Travis discusses the importance of Phoenix standing up to the DOJ and what that can mean for law enforcement across the country.

Dr. Yates previously discussed this important matter with Bob Scales and you can listen to that here.
