The Chicago Police Department ( CPD ) is the police agency for the city of Chicago. It is the second largest municipal law enforcement agency in the United States after the New York City Police Department . The CPD has approximately 13,500 law enforcement officers and over 1,925 civilian employees. The CPD was first mentioned in 1835. It is considered one of the oldest police authorities in the world. The United States Department of Justice has historically criticized the Department for poor training, lack of oversight and use of disproportionate force.

structure

The Chief of Police directs the Chicago Police Department. With the support of the First Deputy Chief of Police, the Chief of Police manages four offices, each of which is managed by a separate office manager.

The Mayor named former Bureau of Patrol Chief Eddie T. Johnson as Chief of Police on March 28, 2016. His predecessor as Chief of Police was Garry F. McCarthy , former director of the Newark, New Jersey, Police Department; This was confirmed on June 8, 2011 by the city council. McCarthy was the highest paid city clerk with an annual salary of $ 260,004. McCarthy resigned at Rahm Emanuel's request due to the city's high murder rate and his department's handling of the Laquan McDonald shooting.

Prior to McCarthy's appointment as chief of police, Jody Weis had been chief of police since February 2008. At the time, Weis was the second Chicago Police Commissioner to be hired from outside the city. He replaced Philip J. Cline, who officially retired on August 3, 2007. Wei's contract expired on March 1, 2011. Mayor Richard M. Daley temporarily appointed Cline's predecessor Terry Hillard as police chief.

Currently the first deputy chief of police is Anthony Riccio. He was appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel .

From March 2019 the six offices of the department are:

Bureau of Patrol (BOP): Office Manager Fred Waller
Bureau of Detectives: Office Manager Melissa A. Staples
Bureau of Organized Crime (BOC): Office Manager Noel Sanchez
Bureau of Organizational Development: Office Manager Barbara West
Bureau of Technical Services: Office Manager Jonathan H. Lewin
Bureau of Internal Affairs: Office Manager Keith A. Calloway

Each office manager, with the exception of the office manager of the Bureau of Internal Affairs, reports directly to the Police First Deputy Chief of Police. The Bureau of Internal Affairs reports to the Office of the Police Commissioner.

There are 22 police districts, which were consolidated from 25 in 2012. Each district is subject to a commander who oversees its district. The commanders report to three deputy area deputy chiefs who report to the Bureau of Patrol Chief.

In 1960, the city government created a five-member police agency charged with appointing a police chief as chief of police officers, drafting and adopting rules and regulations for the police system, submitting budget proposals to the city council, and making disciplinary decisions with police officers. The criminologist OW Wilson was hired as the first chief of police of the police and served until 1967 when he retired.

Bureau of Detectives

The investigative functions are subordinate to the Bureau of Detectives. The Bureau of Detectives is headed by the Chief of Detectives. The Detective Division comprises the three Area Detective Divisions. The Deputy Chief of the Special Investigations Unit oversees the Central Investigations Division, the Forensic Services Division, which includes the Forensic Investigators Mobile Crime Lab, ET-North and ET-South (which are the two forensic science units), and the Youth Investigations Division.

The Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Unit includes the Deployment Operations Center, Intelligence Section, Airport Law Enforcement Section, Public Transportation Section, and Bomb and Arson Section. The Organized Crime Division consists of the Narcotics Section, the Gang Investigations Section, the Gang Enforcement Section, the Vice Control Section and the Asset Forfeiture Unit (unit for the confiscation of Assets).

The Chief of Detectives and Chief of Organized Crime report to the First Vice Commissioner of Police. Two Deputy Chiefs assist the Chief of Detectives, while one Deputy Chief assists the Chief of OCD.

The city is divided into three criminal areas (north, central and south). Each area is led by a commander.
