The Chicago Police Department (CPD) is the primary law enforcement agency of the city of Chicago, Illinois, United States, under the jurisdiction of the Chicago City Council. It is the second-largest municipal police department in the United States, behind the New York City Police Department.[3] As of 2022 CPD had 11,710 sworn officers on duty,[4] and in 2020 had over 948 other employees.[1] Tracing its roots to 1835,[5] the Chicago Police Department is one of the oldest modern police departments in the world.
The Chicago Police Department has both a past & recent-present history of police brutality, racial profiling, misconduct and corruption, and at one point,
tortured multiple people in custody in the 1980s.[6][7][8] In 2017, the United States Department of Justice criticized the department for poor training, lack of oversight, and repeated incidents of excessive force.[9]
