Which term describes a court-approved agreement requiring an organization to change practices to resolve legal violations?

• A. Consent decree
• B. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial
• C. Police cynicism
• D. Police personality

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is a court-ordered remedy that requires an organization to change its practices to fix legal violations. The term for that is a consent decree. It’s a binding, court-approved agreement reached to resolve a dispute, often in civil rights or regulatory cases, that mandates specific reforms, ongoing monitoring, and reporting to ensure compliance.

The other options don’t fit because they describe something else: a memorial is a commemorative installation honoring officers, while police cynicism and police personality refer to attitudes or traits among officers, not legally enforceable reforms ordered by a court.
