Comments on Proposed July 27 Consent Decree regarding the Chicago Police
The Chicago Council of Lawyers Civil Liberties Committee has reviewed the provisions of the proposed consent decree between the Illinois attorney General’s Office and the City of Chicago regarding reforms to the Chicago Police Department. In the Committee’s view, the proposed consent decree would represent a significant step forward in improving the operations of the Chicago Police Department. The Attorney General’s Office has done a good job in putting together this proposed decree and we applaud its efforts. However, we also recognize that in some areas the City has not been willing to go far enough in the proposed decree. For our comments, please click HERE.
