Peter Harvey, a former state attorney general and the first African American to hold that position, was selected as Department of Justice monitor for Newark Police last year—at least in part because of what then-U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman called Harvey’s “extraordinary reputation in the legal and law enforcement communities.” As attorney general, Harvey oversaw the consent decree stemming from a DOJ suit over racial profiling practices by New Jersey state troopers, and went beyond the terms of the decree to issue a directive banning racial profiling by any police officer in the state. He is currently a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler in New York.
