Frederick OKs affirmative action plan for police hiring
City officials approved a final version of an affirmative action plan for Frederick Police to increase African-American hires. The plan stems from a discrimination suit and a settlement with attorney Willie Mahone, including a one-for-one hiring ratio until Black representation matches city demographics. The plan relies on a court upheld fair exam and annual monitoring by the Frederick County Human Relations Commission.
