Trenton mayor, police director promise changes after report found officers frequently use excessive force, violate rights

A 45-page report found that officers "frequently" violated people’s constitutional rights. Talks towards a consent decree are expected.

Seven of the new officers are from BIPOC communities, and three of them are women.

The investigation will focus on allegations that officers have used excessive force, stopped motorists and pedestrians without justification, and illegally searched homes.
