Quarterly Report
October 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014
January 15, 2015
i
This report is filed pursuant to Municipal Code Section 2-57-110, which requires the filing of quarterly reports. This quarterly report provides information for the period October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The information contained in this report is accurate as of January 15, 2015. All of IPRA's public reports are available at www.iprachicago.org.
Quarterly Overview
During the final quarter of 2014, IPRA opened 356 investigations. These were 82 instances where officers discharged their Tasers during that same time span. There were 13 officer-involved shooting investigations; up from 8 shootings during the previous quarter.
Between October and December, IPRA completed 542 investigations. Through attrition, the office is now operating with the continued vacancies of a Supervising Investigator, 5 Intake Aides and 6 Investigators as compared to 1 Supervisor and 5 Investigator vacancies during the previous quarter.
IPRA finished the year having completed 24 sustained investigations during the final three months of 2014. These are investigations where discipline was recommended by IPRA. Mediation numbers increased from the previous quarter; there were 28 cases during the last quarter where mediation was deemed appropriate, compared to 18 during the second quarter; in addition, 23 officers accepted mediation as compared to 13 previously. IPRA will continue to work with the Fraternal Order of Police and other unions to extend mediation to those cases where it is warranted, thus leaving more investigative resources to close older cases.
The IPRA continues its efforts to engage with the community. IPRA attended and spoke at 3rd Ward Alderman Pat Dowell's Town Hall Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church (3300 S. Indiana) in November. Recently, IPRA met with members of the Illinois House and Senate, including members of the Legislative Black Caucus, to discuss officer conduct, body cameras and other issues. In December, IPRA also met with community leaders to discuss larger efforts CPD and IPRA are taking to improve community-police relations and transparency in police investigations, and to preview the Safer Report recommendations - a report commissioned at the request of Mayor Rahm Emanuel that seeks to build on current practices and offers recommendations to strengthen the entire police discipline system. The IPRA also attended the three monthly Police Board Meetings held during the past three months.

1 Pursuant to the IPRA Ordinance, certain events trigger an IPRA investigation even in the absence of an allegation of misconduct. The term "notification" refers to those events that IPRA investigates where there is no alleged misconduct.
" This number includes investigations opened and assigned to IPRA as of the end of the identified quarter. It does not include investigations "Re-opened" because of the settlement of litigation, new evidence, or the results of the Command Channel Review process. This number may include some investigations "Re-closed" after being Re-opened.
4 The caseload number for periods prior to 3Q 2009 are the numbers that IPRA previously reported in quarterly reports. As discussed previously, due to a calculation error, over time these numbers became inaccurate. The caseload number for 3Q 2009 reflects the results of IPRA's complete audit of pending investigations.
5 The number of investigations closed and IPRA Caseload reflect a correction of numbers reported in a previous report.

2-57-110(3): The number of investigations pending as of the report date
As of December 31, 2014, there were 771 investigations pending completion by IPRA. These include both allegations that have received Complaint Register Numbers, and those being followed under a Log Number, as well as officer-involved shootings and Extraordinary Occurrences.
