Voters will elect three-member councils for each of the city's 22 police districts. Those councils will be charged with holding meetings and bringing recommendations from community members to the city and police leadership. BlackVoicesWTTW
Those districts will then nominate a seven-person commission to oversee the entire Chicago Police Department. Proponents said among the commission’s many goals is a lofty one: building trust between residents and the police.CCPSA deputy director Damon Smith explained how the commission defines the notion of public safety.
The Empowering Communities for Public Safety coalition was behind the push for the commission’s creation. Attorney and ECPS member Loren Jones said part of the rationale behind the design of the district-level councils is that the idea of what public safety means can vary from community to community.
Once the councils are elected, Smith said newly elected members will undergo a training period to get things up and running. Community engagement is critical to the success of the new board, Jones said, so the ECPS coalition has been getting the word out about its goals.
