21CP is helping to oversee implementation of a federal consent decree involving the Cleveland Division of Police, which focuses on a host of critical issues, including use of force, supervision, investigations, search and seizure, bias-free policing, equipment and technology, recruitment and hiring, and staffing.
The Cleveland Police Monitoring Team was appointed by Judge Solomon Oliver, Jr. to oversee reform on his behalf. The Team provides extensive technical assistance to the City of Cleveland and Division of Police -- helping to drive meaningful change in partnership with the community.
21CP's Hassan Aden is the Monitor. Chuck Ramsey is Principal Deputy Monitor. Matthew Barge, Sean Smoot, and Tim Longo are all subject matter experts assisting in the implementation of critical reforms.
