Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch released an independent review of the Department of Public Safety on Monday, outlining 23 recommendations for the department as well as protocols for a review board that will oversee complaints against officers.
The 97-page report is the product of a year-long investigation into how the department interacts with members of the Syracuse University community and, specifically, how officers interacted with students during protests on campus over the past 18 months.
