The team overseeing court-ordered reforms of the Chicago Police Department warned city officials that the team has “significant concerns” about the department’s commitment to constitutional policing.
“While the CPD has developed some plans to approach consent decree reforms, much more needs to be done to comprehensively demonstrate compliance efforts with officer wellness, community policing, impartial policing, community engagement and crime-fighting strategies,” according to the report. “And we continue to have significant concerns regarding the CPD’s commitment to have constitutional policing and reform efforts lead its crime-fighting strategies.
A spokesperson for the Chicago Police Department did not respond to questions from WTTW News about the criticism leveled by the monitoring team at the department’s commitment to reform. Instead, the department released a statement from Interim Police Supt. Fred Waller that celebrated the progress made by the department in the last six months.

For example, the unit charged with reviewing officers’ use of force, foot pursuits and investigatory stops is not adequately staffed, resulting in a large backlog, the report said. “The imminent announcement of a new superintendent makes this an opportune time for a renewed focus on the consent decree,” Hickey said. “The new leader must urgently address the problems that have lingered far too long.”
Former Executive Director Tina Skahill resigned on June 17 after than less than a year in the post. When she informed department leaders of her retirement, Skahill told them she was stepping down because of retaliation and invoked protections under the state’s whistleblower law.
