A federal judge on Wednesday turned down the Justice Department’s request to delay a public hearing on its agreement with Baltimore Police Department about how to reform its police practices.

Attorneys for the Justice Department on Monday asked for a 90-day delay to “review and assess the proposed consent decree.” The next day, Baltimore officials filed a motion against the requested delay, saying it would undermine the public’s trust and confidence in the police reform process.
