Nearly a year after civil rights groups called for federal intervention, U.S. Justice Department officials plan to make public the findings and recommendations of a review of Las Vegas police use-of-force policies and practices.

Nevada U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden and Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie plan to outline the report on Thursday, along with federal Community Oriented Policing Services chief Bernard Melekian.
