Starting next year, the Chicago Police Department will roll out a new pilot program for detectives, altering how and when investigators respond to murder scenes across the city in an effort to boost CPD’s clearance rate.
One week on call, followed by five weeks to work cases. Ten-hour days and take-home cars. And perhaps most importantly, total ownership of an investigation from start to finish. The new “homicide teams” were born out of the tentative contract agreement made public last week between the city and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, the union that represents rank-and-file CPD officers and detectives.
“What we plan to do is make sure that all of our detectives get the training they need to now bring more comfort to the families, follow up on investigations, whether they have a breakthrough in the case or not, just to keep those families abreast of what’s going on,” Snelling told the City Council.
