Description
In 2017, a Department of Justice investigation into Chicago Police called out foot chases as a precursor to excessive force saying they “too often end with officers unreasonably shooting someone.” But until now, the department hasn’t had a policy to guide officers on when they can chase people and when they can’t. CPD enacted an interim policy earlier this month that’s undergoing public comment. But critics say it doesn’t go far enough. Nusrat Choudhury with the ACLU of Illinois explains how we got here and where the policy goes next.
