His death ignited widespread calls for police reform in Baltimore and led the U.S. Department of Justice to open an investigation into the agency.
As a result of those findings, the department entered into a consent decree with federal prosecutors in 2017 that outlines a series of mandated reform measures.
Prosecutors acknowledged the department's progress in a joint motion filed Tuesday, saying the agency had complied with two sections of the decree.
The department has achieved full compliance with 25% of the paragraphs contained in the consent decree, while another 60% have been deemed to be on track to compliance, officials said.
“Reform and accountability go hand in hand with law enforcement productivity,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott.
