On December 7, 2015, the Department of Justice (DOJ), Civil Rights Division, Special Litigation Section, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois jointly initiated an investigation of the City of Chicago's Police Department (CPD) and the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA). The goal was to determine whether the CPD is engaging in a pattern or practice of unlawful conduct and, if so, what systemic deficiencies or practices within CPD, IPRA, and the City might be facilitating or causing this pattern or practice. Contents: Background; CPD Engages in a Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Use of Force; Chicago's Deficient Accountability Systems Contribute to CPD's Pattern or Practice of Unconstitutional Conduct; CPD Does Not Provide Officers with Sufficient Direction, Supervision, or Support to Ensure Lawful and Effective Policing; CPD Must Better Support and Incentivize Policing That Is Lawful and Restores Trust among Chicago's Marginalized Communities; Recommendations.
