The Cook County state’s attorney’s office on Monday made public a list of 174 current and former law enforcement officers who will not be called to testify in court proceedings.
Cook County’s “Do Not Call” list is largely made up of officers whose alleged misconduct has so badly hampered their credibility that they’d be a liability for prosecutors on the witness stand. A heavy majority — 120 — are members of the Chicago Police Department.
Several of the Chicago officers, including Jason Van Dyke, Ronald Watts and Jeffrey Kriv, have faced criminal charges themselves.
