Office of the Technical Compliance Advisor (Federal Monitor) — Puerto Rico Police Reform
TCA / Federal Monitor
56/100
Summary
Court-appointed federal monitor created by the 2013 consent decree between the DOJ and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The TCA assesses PRPB compliance with all 212 monitorable paragraphs of the Reform Agreement, including use-of-force policies, internal investigations, and discipline. The TCA has full access to PRPB records, can independently review UOF and officer-involved-death investigations, and files public semi-annual reports. Discipline remains advisory: the TCA recommends; PRPB command retains final authority.
