The plan was first approved by Mayor Jacob Frey and the city council late last week, in cooperation with the state Department of Human Rights. Judge Karen Janisch’s order says officers must immediately notify a supervisor if they see inappropriate use of force. The police chief must make timely and transparent discipline decisions for police officers as outlined in the order.
