The Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting an assessment of Virginia’s Charlottesville Police Department (CPD).
Through its Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI), the DOJ’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) will spend the next year working with the CPD to evaluate community policing, crime prevention, employee training, strategic planning, and accountability, the DOJ said in a press release.
