The sergeant's remarks came at a November 3, 2023 public meeting of Chicago's Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability.
The commission, which began work in 2022, is the newest of a handful of city efforts to make CPD more accountable and responsive to Chicago's residents—and to streamline the department's operations.
