On behalf of the plaintiffs, Attorney Schulman writes that since 1973 “there has been virtually no improvement in the racial or city resident makeup of the sworn officers of the Hartford Police Department.”112 The motion also alleges that the HPD has violated the original consent decree by failing to discourage high speed car chases and failing to adequately forward complaints to prosecutors in other jurisdictions. Schulman argues that the HPD has violated the 2010 Agreement by failing to follow the timeline set forth in the revised citizen complaint procedure, and refraining from conducting investigations of firearms discharge by officers while the state police are also investigating.113
