What will you find here? 

This dashboard displays information on closed misconduct complaints and notifications filed against Chicago Police Department (CPD) sworn members since February 11, 2019.

  • Complaints and notifications considered to be ongoing or confidential  
  • Case information other than recommended findings and penalty decisions 

Users can read more details on a complaint or notification by clicking on the log number.  

Records prior to February 11, 2019 can be accessed by selecting the link to the right of the search menu that says “Click to search records prior to 2/11/2019”.  

Questions that can be answered by this dashboard include: 

  • What rank did a CPD member hold when they received the complaint?

  • What agency investigated each complaint?
