The U.S. Justice Department could be getting ready to investigate the Indianapolis Police Department over claims of racial discrimination. Sources say Justice Department attorneys are planning to come to the city by the end of the month on a fact-finding mission to investigate alleged racially discriminatory activity. Sources say the discrimination does not involve actions against Black officers, but White ones and it goes primarily to promotions within the department. IPD recently had issues over its promotions list, with a Marion County Judge ruling the current list should be set aside since there will be a new consolidated police department on January 1st.
