In response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2024 report alleging a “pattern or practice” of unconstitutional policing by the Phoenix Police Department, this page presents the findings of a comprehensive independent analysis by Dr. Travis Yates and Dr. JC Chaix. Drawing upon official police records, body-worn camera footage, and case law, the researchers found that 97% of the DOJ’s incident descriptions were factually or contextually inaccurate.
