The Justice Department has opened 12 investigations into possible civil rights abuses by police departments since Biden took office.
The Biden administration highlighted "pattern or practice" investigations of alleged systematic civil rights violations by state or local police as critical to police reform.
If Republican Donald Trump wins the election before the department reaches court-approved resolutions known as "consent decrees," those probes could end without agreements to reform those departments.
Politics and differences in department leadership could be affecting the cases, a former civil rights official says.
A Justice Department official said the department has provided additional staffing and resources to address the investigations.
The official also pointed to the parallel criminal cases the Justice Department has brought against police officers such as Derek Chauvin .
