The City of Phoenix has unveiled a new interactive website designed to provide access to materials related to incidents identified in the June 13, 2024, Department of Justice (DOJ) report. This launch marks a significant step toward enhancing transparency, fostering accountability, and building trust within the community.
What the DOJ Investigation Report Website Offers
The newly launched website allows users to explore:
- Incident Reports: Detailed summaries of events referenced in the DOJ report.
- Closed Investigations: Insights into cases that have been reviewed and resolved.
- Videos and Other Materials: Additional resources for public understanding of the incidents described.
This platform provides a unique opportunity for residents, officials, and stakeholders to analyze events, understand the City’s response, and track ongoing improvements in policing practices.
Chief Sullivan’s Commitment to Reform
Phoenix Police Chief Sullivan emphasized the importance of this initiative in fostering meaningful change:
“Analyzing these incidents is a valuable process for our City as we look to continue building on many of the improvements made before and after I arrived.”
This website builds on efforts outlined in the January 2024 report, The Phoenix Police Department: The Road to Reform (PDF), which detailed changes to policy, training, and accountability through 2023. These reforms demonstrate the City’s commitment to addressing DOJ recommendations while advancing accountability and training reforms.
