The Justice Department and Minneapolis officials have agreed to negotiate toward a deal on a court-enforced consent decree.A consent decree in this case, between the Department of Justice and a state or local governmental agency, such as a police department, is a court-approved agreement that creates and enforces a road map for changes and overhaul within the agency where the Justice Department has found evidence of abuse and misconduct.Typically, a federal judge, along with an independent monitor, is appointed to oversee the changes and enforce the agreement.
