Police departments, both locally and across the country, have revised their mass arrest policies since the civil disturbances tied to George Floyd’s murder in 2020., but now, with less than 10 weeks to go before delegates flood the Windy City, the department is asking the public to weigh in on new crowd control and arrest policies.
Police departments, both locally and across the country, have revised their mass arrest policies since the civil disturbances tied to George Floyd’s murder in 2020."I certainly appreciate what we've learned as a result of the civil unrest with the murder of George Floyd and have taken that in consideration along with public sentiment and public comments," said Ald.
CPD also said crowd dispersal orders will only be given under limited circumstances, namely when three people or more are committing acts of disorderly conduct likely to cause substantial harm, and there have been multiple opportunities to disperse. Officers will give warnings prior to arrest when circumstances allow.
