The number of Chicago cops facing firing has exploded under the city’s new accountability chief – WBEZ (Chicago)

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability last year recommended 59 officers for discharge, up from 19 in 2020 and just 12 in the three-year span before that, according to an annual report. Apart from the dismissal recommendations, COPA last year recommended suspensions of 30 days or more for 48 officers — as many as the agency recommended for that discipline level in the previous four years combined.

Possible net result: officers sitting in their squads doing nothing.
