ELKHART, Ind. -- Elkhart Mayor Tim Neese held a press conference along with former US Attorney and US Assistant Attorney General Deborah J. Daniels about the assessment of the Elkhart Police Department on Monday.

- Use of force policy review and assessment
- Review of use-of-force accountability
- Review three years’ worth of use-of-force investigations and documentation
