Auto-generated summary
The Chicago City Council has updated the Municipal Code to enhance oversight of the Police Department's policies, practices, and training. The Public Safety Deputy and the Chief Administrator now have the power to recommend changes and must receive responses within 60 days. The Deputy, Chief Administrator, and Commissioners can only be removed for cause, and their roles include regular reporting and public hearings. The Mayor's selections for key police department positions require City Council approval. The ordinance also mandates regular reports on murder rates and consent decree progress, with hearings for key officials. The jurisdictions of the Committee on Public Safety and the Committee on Police and Fire have been clarified, and updates to the Consent Decree reflecting these changes have been requested.
