Chicago has announced a plan to implement far-reaching police reforms under federal court supervision.
The more than 200-page document was released Friday by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson. The report covers topics ranging from officer recruitment and supervision to the use of force.
Under the plan, officers must issue a verbal warning before any use of force and provide life-saving aid after force is used.
The Chicago Police Department will need to issue monthly reports on use of force incidents. Better training and supervision of officers also is required, including ensuring there's one sergeant for every 10 officers. That number can currently be much higher.
The plan also says investigations by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability and the police department's internal affairs bureau must be complete within 180 days.
