Years of complaints by thousands of CPD patrol officers are boiled down in a report by the City Inspector General.
"Just during the period of time of April and May of this year, we found that about 1100 CPD members, about 10% of its sworn members, were scheduled to work at least 11 consecutive days," Inspector General Deborah Witzburg told the I-Team
"It's not 10%. There was 1,000 scheduled. But the IG report actually said five or six actually worked," Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said when asked about the report during a press conference."Frankly, neither we nor the police department are in a good position to say exactly how many of those 1,190 members who were scheduled to work that long did, which is the problem with the records," said Witzburg.
"CPD's records on scheduling and overtime and the cancellation of days off, those records are not kept in a way which really facilitates this sort of analysis. That's problematic from an oversight perspective, it's also problematic from a management perspective," said Witzburg. As the police time machine cranks up for scheduling this upcoming Labor Day weekend, days off will not be canceled for officers according to Superintendent David Brown. He said extended tours of duty are not on the books for the last big summertime holiday and that police brass are concerned about the scheduling issues. Brown said CPD is working to add relief from long tours and extended rotations.
