    The Phoenix Police Department has launched a website in response to the 126-page report from the Department of Justice into the department.

    After a three-year investigation, the justice department released its scathing assessment of the Phoenix Police Department in June. U.S. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said the findings were “historic” and “severe” and prove the department has a pattern and practice of unconstitutional policing and is incapable of policing itself.

    The website includes information about many of the incidents involving the department that were mentioned in the DOJ report. It includes the result of any administrative review of each incident, body camera video when available, and other various details. It also includes information on what they call its "road to reform" and what the department is doing to reduce the number of use of force incidents in the future.

    Out of the approximately 132 incidents in the DOJ's report, Phoenix says they were able to identify 120 of them. 48 were found to be in policy, 17 were not and 47 incidents weren't internally investigated at all. They were unable to identify 12 of them.
