California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the California Department of Justice has secured a settlement agreement with the city of Vallejo and the Vallejo Police Department. The settlement requires reforms to the department’s policies and practices. The agreement addresses the DOJ’s allegations that the VPD engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional conduct. The reforms aim to promote public safety, reduce unlawful uses of force, and eliminate racial and identity disparities. The reforms will also aim to strengthen the department’s accountability systems and increase support for officers. The DOJ will oversee and enforce the terms of the settlement.
