Call for hearing(s) on Chicago Police Department's adherence to Illinois Domestic Violence Act
On July 17, 2024, the Committee on Public Safety, led by Alderperson Andre Vasquez, called for a review of the Chicago Police Department's (CPD) handling of protection order violations. The resolution cites CPD's non-compliance with the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, underutilization of Short Form Notifications as an alternative to the Cook County Sheriff's Office’s Service, and inadequate response to gender-based domestic violence and electronic harassment. It also calls for testimony from the Mayor's Office and other experts.
