CPD pushes to boost its ‘clearance’ rate in homicide cases, with some success – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo News

As of June 20, the department had a clearance rate of more than 65% — a marked increase from the 51.7% clearance rate the bureau recorded in 2023 and well higher than its overall clearance rate of 44% between 2012 and 2022. “Going back over the last 10 years, this is the highest clearance rate that we’ve seen.”

What’s that Mark Twain line, “Figures don’t lie, but liars do figure!” There is a lot of smoke and mirrors in what the Chicago Police Department management is saying. I pity the poor street cops and detectives that work for these political hacks.

Suddenly that person shot in the back 12 times is now considered a suicide. Don’t think so, well if you had a clue you wouldn’t doubt it.
