Cook County’s “Do Not Call” list is largely made up of officers whose alleged misconduct has so badly hampered their credibility that they’d be a liability for prosecutors on the stand. A majority — 120 — are members of the Chicago Police Department.
a list of 174 current and former law enforcement officers who will not be called to testify in court proceedings.
The list has nearly tripled in size since last February when, as part of a lawsuit, the state’s attorney’s office said in court filings that 66 officers would not be called to testify, but it was not disclosed when those officers were added to the list. Among those newly added officers are Robert Bakker, a CPD officer with ties to the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, and Reynaldo Guevara, a former CPD detective linked to dozens of bogus felony convictions. Both were added to the list May 25, 2023.
