Where's Newark Police Department's New Policy?

Recent published reports claim the Newark New Jersey Police Department has a new initiative in place that will prevent discriminatory differential treatment in the police disciplinary process. There have been numerous complaints that Latino and African-American Officers have received harsher sanctions than Caucasian Officers who have committed more egregious offenses. Since the 1960's African-American Officers have complained of differential treatment. But now, allegedly, there is some procedure or policy that will put an end to this differential treatment. There is just one small problem, no one in the entire Newark Police Department seems to know anything about this procedure or initiative that will prevent differential treatment.

On Thursday February 23, 2012 at 6:00 PM eastern time, we will discuss differential treatment in the Newark Police Department. Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio or his designee have been invited to participate in the discussion of differential treatment in the Newark Police Department.
