Baltimore mayor says police reforms to be implemented quickly

Reforms to the Baltimore Police Department recommended by the U.S. Justice Department will be implemented as quickly as possible, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said on Wednesday.

"Over the next few months, we will put in place a concrete plan for change and a new culture – for the good of the city, the Police Department and the people it protects," she said in a statement.
