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.
There are hundreds of cops hiding out in administrative positions that could be handled by civilian personnel versus sworn officers. A large number of these officers are politically connected or have friends in the upper echelons of the police department who shield them. This report could expose these people and would create a large group of unhappy police officers if they are actually forced to do police work. Then again you might not want these officers on the street because they are inept at police work.
Clearly, there are some recent opportunities in the SS for those a bit rusty as to actually walking a beat.
