Baltimore, DOJ consent decree timeline puts public hearing in April

A “public fairness hearing,” where members of the Baltimore community will have a chance to comment on the proposed police reform agreement between the city and the U.S. Department of Justice, has been scheduled for April 6, according to a timeline filed in the case late Friday. The timeline, filed jointly by both parties in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, also sets a March 7 deadline for written comments from the public.
