People with sex and gun convictions are required to register with police. CPD is turning them away. – WBEZ (Chicago)

Data from public records show CPD routinely registered more than 1,000 people per month in 2018. By the end of 2022, that number had been cut nearly in half. The team that registers people is “a unit that for some reason the Chicago Police Department, especially the bureau detectives, who oversee this unit, do not care if it succeeds. And right now it is failing,” said Patty Casey, a former Chicago Police Commander who oversaw the registries until she retired in June 2021.

Leadership issue. Carpetbagger Superintendent Brown and a host of Affirmative Action command staff most definitely is the cause. When there are high ranking police department members who have never passed an exam in charge and are in charge because of clout or they fit the racial profile, what could go wrong? Hence, the article.

I recall reading about this problem several years ago. Evidently it’s worsened, and/or somebody got WBEZ interested. If the registries are of any value — which I doubt — clerical staff earning half of what cops make, but working regular hours inside police stations, could handle the work.
