Move comes after arbitrator ruled officers accused of misconduct could opt to have their cases decided by a third party, which would be behind closed doors.
Ald. Jeanette Taylor, 20th, speaks during a City Hall news conference calling for City Council to oppose a recent ruling that would allow police misconduct hearings to be heard in private, Sept. 14, 2023.calling for the Chicago City Council to reject an arbitrator’s ruling that would allow Chicago police officers accused of serious misconduct to have their disciplinary cases decided behind closed doors.
Earlier this year, as part of the ongoing contract negotiations between the Fraternal Order of Police and the city, an arbitrator ruled that CPD officers accused of the most serious misconduct should have the option to have their cases decided by the Chicago Police Board or an independent third party. If an officer chose the latter, the hearings would be conducted behind closed doors and not open to the public.
Frank Chapman, executive director of the Civilian Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and a longtime police accountability activist, called for the City Council to reject the arbitrator’s award. After the arbitrator’s award was made public over the summer, an attorney for the FOP tried unsuccessfullyfrom the Police Board’s docket and have them decided instead by a third-party.
