“Aden has led the monitoring since 2019, but so far there is no word on who will replace him.”
CLEVELAND — Some Cleveland leaders are concerned about the abrupt departure of federal police consent decree monitor Hassan Aden and how it could create some unanswered questions about the future of the Cleveland police reform effort.
“Well there are a lot of questions, we were set to meet with him on Nov. 9 to get a briefing by the monitor," Polensek said. “We want to drill down, what are you actually billing us for, and we want to see an itemized breakdown on the billing.”"We can confirm that Hassan Aden has resigned. We thank him for his efforts on behalf of the city and wish him the best," the state said.
“We hope to improve some of the inequities that exist between the community and police, without putting blame anywhere," Ridgeway said. “But we must first understand policy, procedures, infrastructure and somehow using that as a way to build trust a credibility."
