Mayor Lightfoot offers few details on fixing registries for sex, drug and violence crimes – WBEZ (Chicago)

More than 5,000 people previously convicted of certain violent crimes, gun crimes and sex crimes have been arrested for failure to register since 2017; A disproportionate number of those arrests, 98 percent, are people of color. But they were routinely turned away from the registry by the city because of police staffing shortages.

Easy solution: move the registry to the district stations. The front desk personnel can easily handle it.

Problem solved!

That’s a way too complicated solution for the upper echelon of the politically promoted CPD leaders.
