After several years of foundational work revising policies and training officers, the Baltimore Police Department is now in the assessment phase of the Consent Decree. During this phase, the Independent Monitoring Team performs audits, inspections and outcome assessments to determine compliance.

The following dashboard shows compliance scores based on the Monitoring Team’s most recent assessments of BPD’s progress. The dashboard is a transparency tool to show community members the commitment the Department has to becoming a self-assessing, self-correcting agency.
