Phoenix has created a website with the hope of giving weekly updates on the U.S. Justice Department investigation of its police department.

Phoenix has created a website with the hope of giving weekly updates on the U.S. Justice Department investigation of its police department, which began nearly three months ago.  

The digital resource gives an email address and phone number for people to contact the federal government.

The site features answers to frequently asked questions about the review underway. Plus links to news conferences held when Civil Rights investigators were tapped to look into allegations such as use of excessive force, discriminatory policing and retaliation against protesters.

A timeline says federal officials have sought records on policies and procedures for situations like behavioral health calls and people experiencing homelessness.

The webpage says the federal officials started doing virtual interviews with city employees in late September, when Phoenix also turned over the first batch of records.
