The Justice Department has launched a review of the police response to 16 days of Ferguson protests in wake of the fatal shooting of an unarmed teen, CNN reports.
The review will examine the handling of crowd control, protesters and the media.
The task will be undertaken by a 12-person team that will include Justice Department officials and current and former police chiefs.
The assessment started last week.
Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized the police response, which has been widely considered heavy-handed.
The review comes as law enforcement braces for the outcome of the grand jury that will decide whether to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
