As part of the Department\u2019s latest community engagement effort, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) has launched a series of public surveys on several impartial policing policies, and will begin conducting\u00a0discussions with community members and individuals with lived experiences to gain feedback on ways to improve or develop policies later this month.<\/p>\n
Members of the public have until Oct. 15, 2020 to complete online surveys on the following policy topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n Part of the review process will involve the creation of community focus groups that will use a web-based communication platform to create a collaborative space for sharing feedback.<\/p>\n Those interested in attending a focus group for one of these specific policies are encouraged to complete the online form,\u00a0available here<\/a>. Participants for focus groups will be selected at random and efforts will be made\u00a0to ensure they accurately reflect the full diversity of the communities and residents our officers are sworn to serve and protect. Individuals selected to attend a focus group will be directly contacted by CPD. The\u00a0Department will work to accommodate as many requests as possible, but will not be able to offer everyone a spot on a focus group.<\/p>\n\u2022 Response to Hate Crimes<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Prohibition of Sexual Misconduct<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Limited English Proficiency \/ Language Access<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Interactions with Religious Communities<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Interactions with People with Disabilities<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Interactions with Children and Youth (18 and Over)<\/a><\/div>\n\u2022 Interactions with Children and Youth (Under 18)<\/a><\/div>\n
