At 1st City Council Hearing on Consent Decree in 15 Months, No Sign of Urgency Around Reform Push – WTTW (Chicago)

None of the alderpeople at the sparsely attended committee hearing pressed Deputy Chief Ralph Cruz or Executive Director Allyson Clark-Henson of CPD’s Office of Constitutional Policing and Reform on why CPD had fully complied with just 16 percent of the court order known as the consent decree by the end of 2024. In all, the city set aside at least $887.6 million to implement the consent decree between 2020 and 2025.
