Will New Leadership Cure Newark Police Problems?

Newark’s Police Department is plagued with complaints of misconduct and brutality, and presently under investigation by the Justice Department, is poised to have new leadership.  Can this new leadership stop the raising tide of violent crime, and the apparent inability of Newark’s Internal Affairs Division to arrest systemic corruption?  Will Newark citizens continue to pay the salaries of high-ranking officials who seem unable or unwilling to detect differential treatment, or protect officers when they report corruption?

These important issues will be discussed in detail on Thursday August 4, 2011, at 6:00 PM.
