City of Chicago Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability

In July 2021, the Chicago City Council established a new model for police oversight, accountability and public safety. It created two bodies: a citywide Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, with power to advance systemic reform, and District Councils, which will work to improve policing and public safety in each police district. The Community Commission and District Councils will bring police officers and residents together to plan and prioritize, build mutual trust, strengthen the police accountability system, give Chicagoans a meaningful new role in oversight, and explore and advance alternative effective approaches to public safety.
