Question: While much of the police reform that makes the news is as a result of consent decrees imposed by the Department of Justice, several agencies have implemented significant reforms without facing the threat of a civil lawsuit.

For example, in 1998, the Washington Post published a series of articles about the amount of officer-involved shootings by the Metropolitan Police in Washington, DC, and won a Pulitzer Prize for these articles. In response, the Mayor and the Police Chief contacted that Department of Justice, and ultimately implemented a truly voluntary consent decree, which can be found here. If you are interested, a review conducted to determine if the consent decree was still effective seven years after the consent decree ended, the report can be accessed here:

Find at least one other example where law enforcement agencies have successfully implemented significant changes in their agencies without it being as a direct result of a lawsuit, or the pending threat of a lawsuit. Describe why the change was implemented, and how it was performed successfully. Has the change been durable, why or why not? How was the change received by the community?
