Maryland County Commits to Reform Efforts After a $2.3 Million Discrimination Settlement
A $2.3 million payment to a group of Black and Latino police officers to settle their workplace discrimination lawsuit against a Maryland police department is the latest effort toward reforms within the department, a county official said Thursday.
Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks said she will make sure that the future actions of the Prince George’s County Police Department don’t support bad behavior.
“Moving forward, I will continue to do the work needed to ensure that our culture and policies do not support bad actors or bad behavior,” Alsobrooks said during a news conference. “And we will also make sure that everyone in this government knows that discrimination and bias are not acceptable in our police department or any other agency.”
