Deal Reached To Create Database Of Chicago Police Misconduct
Lightfoot opposed the original plan, arguing it would cost tens of millions of dollars
CHICAGO (CBS) — The database agreed to by the mayor and aldermen would include both sustained and dismissed misconduct complaints, dating back to the year 2000.
Originally, the ordinance proposed by Finance Committee chairman Ald. Scott Waguespack (32nd) and Public Safety Committee chairman Chris Taliaferro (29th) would have required the database include all closed misconduct files dating back to 1994, but the aldermen agreed to a compromise.
