Review of the Chicago Police Department’s Management of School Resource Officers
Summary
The Public Safety Section of the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General has concluded a review of the Chicago Police Department’s management of School Resource Officers assigned to Chicago Public Schools.
Executive Summary
OIG reviewed CPD’s recruitment, selection, placement, training, specification of roles and responsibilities, and evaluation of its SROs assigned to CPS. OIG determined that, since December 31, 2016, CPD has assigned officers to CPS without a current legal agreement between the two agencies. Neither CPD nor CPS is able to provide an up-to-date list of SROs and the school locations to which these officers are assigned. Rather, CPD provided a list last updated in March 2017, while CPS provided a list current through 2014.
