Independent Police Review Authority Quarterly Report

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 July 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. The information contained in this report is accurate as of October 11, 2013. All of IPRA's public reports are available at www.iprachicago.org.
Quarterly Overview
During the third quarter of 2013, IPRA initiated 508 investigations. This includes the 110 investigations resulting from notifications of a Taser discharge. IPRA responded to 13 officer-involved shootings during the third quarter of 2013.
IPRA closed 692 investigations during the last quarter. This number is slightly up from the previous quarter. IPRA began the third quarter interviewing for the 5 vacant Investigator positions. IPRA continues to work with the Mayor's Office and Budget Office to address these key personnel issues.
IPRA completed 13 sustained investigations during the last quarter. The Mediation process continues to be a successful tool. There were 27 cases this past quarter identified where mediation was deemed appropriate and 24 officers agreed to accept. IPRA will continue to work with the Fraternal Order of Police to extend mediation to those cases where it is warranted, thus, leaving more investigative resources to close older cases.
During this quarter, IPRA attended 34lh Ward Alderman Carrie Austin's Town Hall Meeting on September 19 at the Sheldon Heights Church (11325 S. Halsted). IPRA joined First Defense Legal Aid for a community meeting in North Lawndale on August 1, 2013 at the Lawndale Christian Fitness Center (3750 W. Ogden) and in Englewood at "Imagine Englewood if. . . " (730 W. 69th Street). IPRA continued its outreach to elected officials, community residents, community based organizations, and faith based institutions in order to explain IPRA's role and its process. IPRA also attended the three scheduled monthly Police Board Meetings during the past quarter.

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.
3 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(1): The number of investigations initiated since the last report
Between July 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, IPRA issued 2032 Log Numbers. Of these Log Numbers, IPRA retained 508 for resolution. IPRA forwarded the remaining 1524 Log Numbers to the Internal Affairs Division of the Chicago Police Department for appropriate resolution.
Of the 508 Log Numbers retained by IPRA, IPRA classified 156 as Complaint Register Numbers. In addition, IPRA began Pre-affidavit Investigations for 188 of the Log Numbers retained by IPRA. The remainder of the retained Log Numbers consisted of 13 Log Numbers for shootings where an individual was hit by a bullet and a "U Number" was issued, 5 for shootings where no one was hit by a bullet, 14 for shots fired at animals, 110 for reported uses of tasers, 8 for reported uses of pepper spray,7 and 14 for Extraordinary Occurrences.
2-57-110(2): The number of investigations concluded since the last report
Between July 1, 2013 and September 30, 2013, IPRA closed 692 Log Numbers. A Log Number is considered closed when IPRA completes its work on the matter, regardless of whether the Police Department is still processing the results.
2-57-110(3): The number of investigations pending as of the report date
7 As of December 31, 2007, IPRA issued a Log Number for notifications of uses of taser, pepper spray, or for shootings where no one is injured only if it received a telephonic notification of the incident or there was an allegation of misconduct. As of January 1, 2008, IPRA implemented procedures to issue Log Numbers for all uses of taser and shootings, regardless of the method of notification. In addition CPD issued a reminder to CPD personnel to provide notification to IPRA. IPRA continues to issue Log Numbers for discharges of pepper spray at the request of CPD personnel.
