CPD replies that it 'has been, and remains, committed to continuous improvement through reform.'
The Chicago police office that oversees the massive reform of the department is suffering from staffing shortages that could impede the court-ordered overhaul of the department, according to the latest report filed by an independent monitor.
In her report, Hickey also noted that police departments across the country are suffering from staffing shortages. Staffing issues in the department’s office of constitutional reform became an issue in August when Superintendent David Brown fired the executive director of the office, Robert Boik, days after Boik raised the very same concerns as the monitor — that shifting personnel out of the office to help patrol neighborhoods would stall movement on reform.
The Police Department has been under the sweeping consent decree since 2019, after a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of the department that came in the wake of the killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by former Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke.
