The Justice Department is launching a federal civil rights probe of the
entire police department in Baltimore, where recent events have "given
rise to a serious erosion of public trust, Attorney General Loretta Lynch
announced today.
.
"This investigation will begin immediately, and will focus on allegations
that Baltimore Police Department officers use excessive force, including
deadly force; conduct unlawful searches, seizures and arrests; and engage
in discriminatory policing," said Lynch, during her first news conference
as head of the Justice Department. "We will ... examine whether they
violated the Constitution and the communitys civil rights."
.
When talking about the overall situation in Baltimore, Lynch described a
"fractured trust" between police and communities as "an understatement."
.
In a statement, Gene Ryan, president of the Baltimore City Fraternal
Order of Police, said, "Our response to todays announcement of the Civil
Rights investigation into the pattern and practices of the Baltimore
Police Department is the same as it has always been; we welcome the
involvement of the Department of Justice and look forward to working with
their representatives to heal the wounds of our city, and to improve the
relationship between the community and our Department."
.
The decision comes days after top Justice Department officials, including
Lynch, visited Baltimore and the family of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who
died in police custody last month after suffering a spinal injury during
his arrest. The incident sparked violent protests in what Lynch described
as a "beleaguered" but hopeful city.
.
Though the Justice Department had launched its own criminal probe into
Gray's death, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called for a
federal civil rights probe of the whole department. And now investigators
from the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division will determine whether
the Baltimore police department engages in a pattern or practice of
discriminatory policing.
.
"Our goal is to work with the community, public officials, and law
enforcement alike to create a stronger, better Baltimore, Lynch said.
"Ultimately, this process is meant to ensure that officers are being
provided with the tools they need including training, policy guidance and
equipment - to be more effective, to partner with civilians, and to
strengthen public safety."
