“The importance of diversity of thought and experiences to the police reform process cannot be overstated,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Brennan.  “Professor Ayesha Bell Hardaway was an integral part of this dialogue, bringing a unique combination of local knowledge and legal expertise.  Her presence on the Monitoring Team facilitated the progress and successes we have seen to date, and we were disappointed to learn of her resignation.”
