Independent Police Review Authority
Quarterly Report
October 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013
January 15, 2014
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, 2013 through December 31, 2013. The information contained in this report is accurate as of January 15, 2014. All of IPRA's public reports are available at www. iprachicago. org.
Quarterly Overview
IPRA initiated 375 investigations during the final quarter of 2013. This includes the 77 investigations resulting from notifications of a Taser discharge. IPRA responded to 5 officer-involved shootings during the third quarter of 2013.
IPRA closed 632 investigations during the last quarter. This number is down slightly from the third quarter. IPRA was successful in interviewing and filling one of the preciously 5 vacant Investigator positions. IPRA continues to work with the Mayor's Office and Budget Office to identify and fill vacancies.
The 80 completed sustained investigations during the last quarter of 2013 exceed the combined total number of sustained cases of the previous three quarters combined. The Mediation process has continued to grow and allow investigators to focus efforts on other cases. 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 spoke at Chicago State University in October and hosted a~ multinational delegation at the end of November. 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 took to social media (Facebook and Twitter) this past quarter and will explore ways to further connect with the community. IPRA also attended the three scheduled monthly Police Board Meetings during October, November, and December.

2-57-110(1): The number of investigations initiated since the last report
Between October, 2013 and December 31, 2013, IPRA issued 1588 Log Numbers. Of these Log Numbers, IPRA retained 375 for resolution. IPRA forwarded the remaining 1213 Log Numbers to the Internal Affairs Division of the Chicago Police Department for appropriate resolution.
Of the 375 Log Numbers retained by IPRA, IPRA classified 115 as Complaint Register Numbers. In addition, IPRA began Pre-affidavit Investigations for 147 of the Log Numbers retained by IPRA. The remainder of the retained Log Numbers consisted of 5 Log Numbers for shootings where an individual was hit by a bullet and a "TJ Number" was issued, 4 for shootings where no one was hit by a bullet, 9 for shots fired at animals, 77 for reported uses of tasers, 2 for reported uses of pepper spray,7 and 17 for Extraordinary Occurrences .
2-57-110(2): The number of investigations concluded since the last report
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.
8 These numbers include one Log Numbers classified as both a U Number and a Complaint Register; and two Log Number classified as both an Extraordinary Occurrence and a Complaint Register. These Log Numbers are counted only once in the total number of Log Numbers retained by IPRA, but included in the breakouts of all applicable incident types.
5
