The Committee on Budget and Government Operations held its 2024 budget hearing for the Chicago Police Department on October 24, 2023, beginning with seven public commenters who raised police accountability, reparations, funding for violence prevention groups, and an incident at City Hall involving an alderperson and a public commenter. A budget presentation described a CPD budget of about $2 billion with 14,137 budgeted positions, and Superintendent Larry Snelling outlined priorities including consent decree compliance, officer wellness, more supervisors, detectives and evidence technicians, about 400 new civilian positions, a crime victim services expansion, and investigations of officers alleged to belong to the Oath Keepers. Over many hours, members questioned department leaders about helicopter procurement and the vehicle pursuit policy, response times and staffing, recruitment and hiring standards, overtime, migrants staying in police stations, CTA safety, drag racing, juvenile crime, hate crimes, diversion programs, mental health response, DNC preparation, and district-level concerns. The hearing was for discussion; no vote was taken.

Topics: Police budget, Police staffing and recruitment, Consent decree, Helicopters and vehicle pursuits, Migrants in police stations, Oath Keepers investigation, Overtime, CTA safety, Officer wellness, Hate crimes, DNC preparation
