The Police District Council is a relatively new entity. It was established by an ordinance passed by the Chicago City Council in July 2021 as a model for enhancing police oversight, accountability, and public safety. Each of the 22 police districts within Chicago, elected 3 members of their district’s council. As your representatives, we are responsible for gathering community input on police policy and public safety concerns, implementing community policing initiatives and restorative justice programs, and nominating candidates for the newly-created Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA), among other duties.
