DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Police Department says its effort to reduce police brutality and other abuses has been so expensive that it now wants a federal court to lighten up on its oversight.
The U.S. attorney said he would oppose the move.
The city in 2003 pledged to make significant reforms in how officers use force, detain prisoners and question witnesses. A federal monitor was appointed to oversee the reforms after the city signed the consent decrees with the Justice Department.
