Civilian oversight board passes policy banning Chicago cops from joining hate groups
The commission has been working with the Chicago Police Department on the new policy for months. Members approved it unanimously Monday.
At least 27 current or former Chicago cops have been linked to the extremist group the Oath Keepers, according to leaked rosters. A recent joint investigation by WBEZ, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project dove into those ties.
The city’s civilian police oversight board voted Monday to ban “active participation” in hate or extremist groups.
Reset talks with a commissioner on the board to learn more about how the policy will work.
