“Constitutional and effective policing and the Consent Decree require more than a simple checklist: the CPD and other relevant City entities must become learning organizations, capable of identifying new and existing challenges and implementing corresponding solutions,” Hickey wrote. She also made a connection between reform efforts and crime reduction, writing that the two should work hand in hand. Shootings in Chicago, during the period evaluated in the report, after they began surging in 2020.
“We certainly have a sense of urgency around building trust and engaging in the community,” Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said. The report also criticized the department’s recent focus on generating at least 1.5 million “positive community interactions.” The effort, first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, was meant to build trust in the community, but the independent monitoring team wrote that it “may ultimately undermine” this goal.
Among other areas where CPD needs to improve, the report noted that the Bureau of Internal Affairs, which investigates misconduct in the department, has lagged behind progress of other departments.
