An interesting read. But the good stuff starts around page 67 when Aldercreature Tom Tunney starts with a series of 17 questions:
- Questions came from 18 different Alderman, but Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) asked the most, with 17 questions to Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. [A copy of the IG's report can be found at the bottom of this article.] Among the responses to Tunney and other aldermen:
•The merged 23rd and 19th district will have 476 officers.
•The average response time in 2010 for a domestic disturbance or burglary in progress was 6.2 minutes.
•In 2010 had 12,365 sworn officers received their annual uniform allowance check but only 7,047 officers were actually assigned to work a beat.
The question ranged the gamut from staffing to hiring to promotions. It seems kind of obvious he has someone on the inside feeding him questions that have appeared in this and other forums and are of a concern to the membership.
Hopefully, a little pushback building against Rahm and McJersey.
