In the 4 ½ years since the city entered a federal consent decree, the Chicago Police Department’s bureau of internal affairs has opened more than 11,000 investigations into allegations of officer misconduct, according to a Tribune analysis of police data.
Outside of patrol districts, CPD units subject to the most investigations since 2019 were narcotics and the community safety team, a roving, citywide unit created in 2020 under former Superintendent David Brown that aimed to tamp down flare-ups of violence.
In December 2020, the community safety team counted more than 800 officers among its ranks but has since shrunk to about 90, according to data from the Office of Inspector General. In 2021, a police lieutenant formerly assigned to the community safety team filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the city, alleging that the former deputy chief in charge of the unit had mandated arrest quotas for officers. That lawsuit is still pending.Chicago Tribune editors' top story picks, delivered to your inbox each afternoon.
