Begin by reviewing the introduction and oneof the sections of the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) Consent Decree, either (1) Community Policing and Engagement, (2) Stops, Searches, Arrests..., (3) Impartial Policing, (4) Responding to People...in Crisis, (5) Use of Force, (6) Interactions with Youth, (7) Transportation of People in Custody, (8) First Amendment Protected..., (9) Handling of Reports of Sexual Assault, (10) Technology, OR (11) Supervision.

Start your post by describing what a Consent Decree is, and the origins of the one that occurred between the U.S. and the BPD. Next, describe the section that you reviewed, detailing what is required by the BPD, some of the rationale (why are these specific things being asked for) and then finish up by outlining what you can find about the progress. You will not be able to find this ancillary information for each section, but see what you can come up with for your chosen area.

Think of this discussion board as an opportunity to teach your classmates about the consent decree overall, and to educate them about the specifics of your chosen section. Help them to understand the "why" behind this document and the directives from the government.
