Chicago Police To End Daily Downtown Deployments
Police said officers would also no longer be working 12-hour workdays or having days off canceled.
CHICAGO (CBS) — For the past year, you may have noticed officers parked on State Street late at night or parked in other nearby areas. That deployment will be ending effective Tuesday. The downtown deployment plan was developed in response to looting and unrest in the downtown area – which happened a year ago this weekend and again early on Aug. 10 of last year.
Police said officers would also no longer be working 12-hour workdays or having days off canceled, and will be returning to regular schedules effective Tuesday.
