A Department of Justice investigation found the Phoenix Police Department violated the civil and constitutional rights of homeless people and the rights of black, Hispanic, and indigenous people.

In a scathing report, the DOJ found the Phoenix Police Department engaged in a “pattern or practice” that violated some people’s rights in two main ways: officers oftentimes detained people without reasonable suspicion, and officers would seize their property without giving them enough notice. The report is a first-of-its-kind finding for a U.S. city as the DOJ has never made a conclusion like this about a police force.
