CPD top cop Johnson releases police reform road map
Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson has released a “road map” of reforms for CPD. There aren’t many deadlines or details for the proposed changes to police training, supervision, and discipline, according to the Tribune. Still, Johnson told the crowd during a news conference, “Make no mistake about it, we’re not just saying we’re going to reform—we’re showing that we’re reforming.” Police critics have been concerned that CPD won’t make the changes recommended by the Department of Justice under the watch of new attorney general Jeff Sessions.
