What do police district councils do? - Chicago Reader

The ECPS district councils powers are not nearly as expansive as what the 1973 Rainbow Coalition proposed. But for the first time in history, Chicagoans will elect people to positions of police oversight.

chicagoreader.com

Police district councils and the Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability have broad oversight of the police department.

2023 Chicago Police District Councils Voter Guide - Chicago Reader

Our guide to PDC candidates includes questionnaires, bios, candidate statements, and icons for quick recognition of which candidates are pro-accountability and which ones have ties to the Fraternal Order of Police.

chicagoreader.com

A guide to the candidates running in the February 2023 election for the newly-created Chicago Police District Councils.

That year, the Chicago Chapter of the Black Panther Party and allies in the Rainbow Coalition organized a ballot initiative to establish a Community Control of Police ordinance that would have created citizen police boards in every district.

Federal Prisons Are Supposed to Provide Suboxone. They Dole Out Punishment Instead.

Congress directed the Bureau of Prisons to make Suboxone and other medications widely available, but only a small fraction of those who need the help have received it.

Congress directed the Bureau of Prisons to make Suboxone and other medications widely available, but only a small fraction of those who need the help have received it.

In 1973, organizers in the Black power and civil rights movements gathered for the first-ever conference on community control of police. 50 years later, Chicagoans will elect civilians to police district councils. Read about the history of the struggle: chicagoreader.com/news-politics/

Oh. Public defenders got funding in Delaware County, PA. Defenders then reduced the pretrial jail population by 35%. And then crime went down. Public defense is a solution for health, safety, freedom, justice, & cost savings.
