2. SOUNDBITE (English) Paul Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey: “The officers I know understand that they are better cops, they are more effective, they are safer, and that they can do their jobs better if they are more comprehensively trained, if their supervisors provide clear guidance, if standards are transparent and fair, and if they have the tools they need to do their jobs. But, we all also understand that all of that works only if it provides a basis to regenerate the trust between the police and the community they serve. All of that will take time and hard work, but I’m convinced that this consent decree, together with our collective commitment, will provide the structure and the opportunity to nurture that growth.” // 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mayor Ras Baraka, (D) Newark: “We look forward to the work that we are going to do cooperatively with the division and with the U.S. Attorney’s office, with the courts to make sure that our police department is policing in a constitutional manner, is respecting the rights and the liberties of the civilians and the residents of our town and our city and enforcing the laws of this state, of the municipality, of the country, in a way that is both effective and makes us all proud of being in a democracy that we’re in to be able to have a police department that not only catches criminals and effects justice, but also maintains the order and the rights of all the residents of the city at the same time.”
