Traffic stops by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) are receiving significant attention in the media lately. There is pressure from certain community groups to make changes to CPD Policy to LIMIT when police officers will be allowed to make certain types of traffic stops (low level, nonmoving violations).
IT IS IMPORTANT TO VOICE YOUR OPINION AS CHANGES TO CPD POLICIES ARE CONSIDERED.
Superintendent Snelling will be drafting changes to police policy over the next weeks.
Because Superintendent Snelling is working with the Chicago Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA) in evaluating possible changes to CPD policy, CCPSA has issued a short SURVEY to solicit public opinions that will be shared with the Chicago Police Department as they draft any new policies.
Please take the survey ASAP to ensure your voice is heard and counted. It only has a few questions and should take less than 5 minutes to complete. Be sure to answer QUESTION #3 in the survey because it captures the crux of the survey: Should Chicago Police Officers be LIMITED in the types of traffic stops for low-level, nonmoving violations? Yes or No.
There are other opportunities in the survey to share your experiences with CPD traffic stops.Thank you for taking time to improve public safety in our community.
