Summary
Pursuant to this obligation, OIG reports on its evaluation of procedural consistency and fairness in the Chicago Police Department disciplinary process; specifically, this report is devoted to the evaluation of the procedures that agencies follow in recommending and reviewing discipline.
Executive Summary
The process by which CPD members are investigated and disciplined for allegations of misconduct is complex and directed by numerous, decentralized sources of authority, including: CPD and other agency policies, directives, and manuals; the MCC; the consent decree entered in Illinois v. Chicago; and multiple collective bargaining agreements between the City of Chicago and CPD members.
