From one commenter, Rhonda Smith, member of CAARPR. I would like to know what the board is doing about these police officers commmitting murder. There are a lot of innocent people that are being killed. There are people that are innocent that are already in jail. Is that right?

One commenter, who has given public comment before regarding the same issue, expresses frustration with not being able to file a complaint against an assailant because their name was not noted down in the responding detectives report during a prior incident.

Agency Information

Chicago Police Board

The Chicago Police Board is an independent civilian body that oversees various matters of the Chicago Police Department, mainly deciding disciplinary cases involving police officers or members of the department, and nominating candidates for Superintendent of Police. The nine individuals who sit on the board are appointed by the mayor.

If you’re attending a Police Board meeting in person, be prepared to go through security. You may hear graphic descriptions of violent events or loud verbal protest from members of the public.

Remote meetings may be viewed at https://cantv.org/watch-now/ or on CAN-TV, Chicago cable channel 27. The video recordings are later posted on Youtube and previously on CAN TV’s YouTube within a day or two.
