Report on Chicago’s Response to George Floyd Protests and Unrest
Summary
In June 2020, the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General and the Independent Monitoring Team overseeing the consent decree entered in Illinois v. Chicago launched a joint inquiry into the City of Chicago’s response to the demonstrations and unrest in late May and early June. This report is the summation of OIG’s findings from that inquiry.
Executive Summary
OIG’s report is an in-depth review of the period of May 29 through June 7, both chronologically and analytically. The report aims to present, to the extent possible based on the information and material available, a comprehensive account of the facts, including how involved parties–– members of the public, CPD’s rank-and-file, and CPD’s command staff, among others–– experienced the protests and unrest.
