Minority Opinions

It is important to understand the cases detailed here are a significant minority of the total complaints filed against officers. A typical year sees about 3–5% of complaints against officers result in a sustained finding of misconduct. A very small percentage of those sustained findings result in discipline that would require the police board to get involved. The data used for this website is taken directly from Police Board documents. The documents were obtained through the Illinois Freedom of Information act. All the documents used as the basis of this website are available for download from the individual case pages. The Chicago Justice Project is an independent transparency organization and is not affiliated in any way with the Chicago Police Board or any other justice agency in Chicago or Cook County.
