“Cuts to policy development, training, officer support, and community policing not only risk slowing the already-behind pace of reform — the cuts risk undoing the progress the City and the CPD have made to date,” the monitoring team wrote. “At only about 9 percent Full compliance with the original Consent Decree, the City should be accelerating the pace of compliance, not just fighting to maintain it.”
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
As one wag on SCC pointed out, at approximately 1% compliance per year, CPD will be what the SWJ’s envision it to be in another 90 years or so.
