As Chicago police try to manage summer crime, a new report from the Chicago’s inspector general charges the Chicago Police Department with continuing to employ officers who’ve filed false reports.
More Than 100 Chicago Police Officers Who Lied Were Not Fired, Despite Vows of Zero Tolerance: Watchdog
Police officers who are found to have lied on the job or omitted crucial information are typically supposed to lose their badge. But an audit by Inspector General Deborah Witzburg reveals the Chicago Police Department has allowed more than 100 officers who’ve filed false reports to stay on the job. Some were even promoted after being found to have lied.
“We cannot send the message that some lies matter and others don’t,” Witzburg said. “It has an enormous impact on the criminal justice ecosystem. Those officers cannot testify in court. They cannot participate in the prosecution of crime. We can’t keep people safe from crimes we can’t prosecute. The other enormous impact here comes in the vein of the legitimacy of the police department. We cannot ask people to trust a police department that lets people get away with lying.
