Thank you, Regan, for your kind introduction, and huge thanks to the Special Litigation Team for your tireless work — the result of which has been to make this an anniversary that is truly worth celebrating. Your efforts and expertise have led to safer communities, improved services for people with behavioral health disabilities, greater trust between police and the communities they serve, better training and more support for police officers, and more effective policing. I want to also express my gratitude to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, under whose leadership the Civil Rights Division has opened 12 pattern-or-practice cases.

The Justice Department announced today the successful conclusion of its agreement with the City of Yonkers, New York, and the Yonkers Police Department (YPD). The agreement required YPD to improve its policies and practices regarding the use of force, stops, searches, and arrests, the protection of First Amendment rights, misconduct investigations and discipline, and community policing. Over the past eight years, the city and YPD have implemented all of the reforms required by the agreement and sustained those reforms for more than a year. Today, the Justice Department agreed to terminate the agreement and commends the city and YPD on their achievements.
