Oakland Police Doing Best Job Ever In Complying On Reforms

In particular, the department installed a computer system that can track the activity of police officers and warn commanders about officers who use excessive force, Warshaw wrote. The department is in compliance with 17 of the 22 tasks required in the 2003 reform plan that settled a lawsuit accusing four Oakland police officers of running roughshod over residents of West Oakland. In a statement, Whent said the Police Department "remains committed to making the necessary adjustments to bring the remaining tasks into full compliance."
