MAYOR DALEY'S OPS OVER-HAUL PLAN

Brought to you by of course: CHICAGO JUSTICE AND Jamie Kalven at invisibleinstitute.com who moved for the FOIA on the CR numbers.

Mayor included in the new ordinance as follows:

The administrator of OPS will be appointed to a four-year term and can only be removed for cause.

Once the OPS administrator recommends discipline for an officer and if the Superintendent of Police disagrees with the recommendation, the Superintendent must do so in writing.

When the Superintendent and the Administrator continue to disagree on discipline, they must consult a three member panel consisting of members of the Police Board to make a final decision.

The OPS administrator must publish reports that detail the number of investigations, their status, and reasons why any investigation is still not completed if open longer then 6 months.

OPS must publish a report for every investigation that they complete discussing the reasons supporting their findings. (The contents of this report will be limited by any collect bargaining agreements or the Illinois Freedom of Information Act that may limit the material that may be released.)

OPS will now have subpoena power to force access to documents and motivate officers to give testimony.

CHICAGO POLICE RECORDS NOW ON CHOPPING BLOCK

EVEN IF THE ALLEGATIONS WERE FALSE
THE PUBLIC HAS TO SORT,
FACT FROM FICTION
1:04-cv-02617 Filed July 7, 2007

On Judge Lefkow matter: Seems the city didn't argue strong enough nor were they able to provide a statute to protect the records which by the way, have been denied in prior court proceedings..

Bizarre case with a woman Known as Bond alleging several Police Officers committed numerous acts under the sun. The case reads on the border of deranged. It also goes into blanketed allegations of wide spread abuse. Public housing saga. Seems the public is suppose to be able to now determine false charges (allegations) from the truth? Court figures the mass public is sophisticated enough to figure it all out. Don't hold your breath.
Ms. Bond worked in concert with Kalven. Now once again coming behind her is the so referred self-described writer and Journalist Jamie Kalven who moved to open the histories under FOIA on March 10th 2007, of all Officer's complaints between 2001-2006.

SEEKING ACCESS FOR:

1. All Chicago Police Officer's who had more than 10 official complaints lodged against them from 2001-06.

2. Who were referred to one of Chicago's "early warning programs."

3.The list of Officer's who had more than ten official complaints lodged against them from 01-06 and who worked in the Public Housing South Unit.

4. The defendant Officer's Complaint Histories.

5. The CR files opened against the individual defendant Officer's.

6. The CR file directly related to plaintiff Diane Bonds.

In doubt read for yourself also check out what's to be removed prior to the dunk tank.
