I was a p.o.in Chicago and now retired. I checked the website that publishes complaints about Chicago police officers. My name appears in regards to an UNFOUNDED allegation from 1993. Is this fair? Is it fair to keep a permenent record of a so called verbal abuse, missed court date, uniform infraction, unfounded allegations? No. The city has violated the contractual conditions with the PD employees.

if arrest records stick around for non convictions or no charges then it’s fair.
