Tonight we are hearing from David Hartwig, Vice President of the Domestic Violence Awareness Committee, 20th Police District. The committee partners with Chicago Police.

Representing the 20th District Council are Darrell Dacres and Deirdre O’Connor.

Tomorrow the Domestic Violence Awareness Committee, 20th Police District, will meet at the Philadelphia Church at 10:30am. Everyone is welcome to come and volunteer with the committee.

Now we hear about the CPD’s Interaction with Persons with Disabilities Policy. The Policy Suite Overview has gone from 8 pages to 30 pages.

The policy is still up online for public comment until September 20th. The policy doesn’t include mental health disabilities and is narrow when it comes to non-visible disabilities.

Please find policy review website to give public comment here: home.chicagopolice.org/draft_policy/i…

A female audience member asks how police members could remember all the new rules. The presenter assures the woman the police learn the policies through roll calls and training.

Another female member states that she regularly attends police meetings and inquired if it was possible for a police superintendent to attend and was under the impression one had to attend. Mr. Dacres and O’Connor states they will work on her feedback.

A audience member asked about COPA. chicago.suntimes.com/police-reform/…
