Summary
The Public Safety Section of the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a compliance evaluation of the Chicago Police Department’s (CPD or the Department) review of randomly selected body-worn camera (BWC) recordings.
Executive Summary
Under Special Order S03-14, the directive outlining BWC policy and procedures, CPD requires watch operations lieutenants, across all watches, to review one recording daily. The purpose of these required reviews is for CPD supervisors to assess, among other areas, whether certain Department members are properly using BWCs and conducting themselves in accordance with CPD policy.
