Some low-level misconduct complaints against Chicago police officers will be handled by independent mediators in a six-month pilot program that aims to speed up misconduct investigations and rebuild the public’s trust in police, Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office announced Wednesday.
Mediators from the Center for Conflict Resolution, a nonprofit where Lightfoot has been a board member, will handle some misconduct allegations filed with the Civilian Office of Police Accountability and CPD’s Bureau of Internal Affairs.
