Catherine E. Pugh Quotes

We`re looking forward to getting our monitor appointed and we`re looking forward to all of the reforms that will take place under this consent decree.

For me to come in as the mayor already recognizing some of the problems that we were facing and also having put some of those reforms in place, I recognize what the advocates were talking about. I also recognize what the police department`s concerns were and what the community in general was concerned about.

This particular consent decree not only looks at the police department, but it also looks at how we engage our community.

We will implement this consent decree because we know that it is in the best interests of our city that the police department and the community are working together so that we can resolve many of the issues that we face in our community.
