The Baltimore police force has committed to sweeping policy changes as part of a court-enforceable agreement with the federal government.
The improvement plan was filed in federal court Thursday.
It is meant to require an overhaul in how police officers do their jobs, mandating improvements in stops and searches as well as arrests.
The agreement resolves months of negotiations with the Justice Department, which had identified pervasive constitutional violations.
The federal government began investigating the police department's practices following the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray.
The city government on Thursday approved the agreement.
