Again, we disagree with the arbitrator's ruling against public accountability and transparency in the most severe cases of police misconduct. We remain firm in our commitment to improving community safety for both the people of Chicago and law enforcement.

Policing is a unique profession as officers have unparalleled responsibility for Chicagoans, their safety, and their lives. As such, it is crucial that law enforcement continue to be held to the highest standard of accountability and transparency.
