At a court hearing Wednesday, Judge William Orrick is expected to once again extend the department's long era of federal oversight, which has lasted over two decades.
Riders plaintiffs' attorneys threatened to push for OPD to fall under federal receivership if the department does not take action to address internal problems.
Civil rights attorneys Jim Chanin and John Burris criticized OPD's internal investigation into Tran, stating: "This massive failure after over 20 YEARS of monitoring is intolerable."
Chanin and Burris acknowledged OPD's progress in reducing brutality cases, highlighting that it shows the department's potential for significant change.
