Not only is having one police oversight body like LA more effective in oversight, it's also far more cost effective than having multiple entities. The 2025 COPA budget is $16,756,984; that's $28.7M with pension and other fringe benefits. Yet another example of Chicago taxpayers being forced to support a failing system that, if not quickly remedied, will lead to even higher taxes, service cuts (including police) and eventually federal intervention.
I’m an advocate for reform as a member of LEAP. However an issue I have is the lack of participation on any of these oversight entities of a law enforcement member. Kennedy Bartley’s presence is not helpful either.
