Investigation Timeliness
The Settlement Agreement with the United States Department of Justice requires investigations into police misconduct be completed in 180 days. IPR has smaller goals within the 180 days for each stage of an investigation.
The group that previously evaluated compliance with the Settlement Agreement deemed the City in substantial compliance with the timeliness requirement in their report on the third quarter of 2023.

In 2024, the City and the Department of Justice jointly requested the appointment of an Independent Monitor. The Independent Monitor team, MPS & Associates, is now responsible for monitoring compliance with the Settlement Agreement. The City moved into a self-monitoring phase for the timeliness requirement after a period of substantial compliance. The Monitor's most recent report deems the City's self-monitoring plan in substantial compliance.

Two investigations from 2026 Q2 remain open and under 180 days. Three investigations from 2026 Q1 were completed in under 180 days.
Each stage of an investigation has its own timeliness goal. IPR is responsible for the intake investigation (14 day goal) and retains some cases for full investigation (70 day goal). The graph showing intake medians includes expanded intake stages for cases that required additional time to complete. The median days taken to complete an intake investigation slightly exceeded 14 in 2025 Q2. The median days taken to complete a full investigation exceeded 70 days in 2025 Q1 and 2025 Q4. These numbers may change as open investigations are completed.
New Officer-Involved Shootings and In-Custody Deaths
There were no officer-involved shootings or in-custody deaths during the second quarter of 2026.
