This report is filed pursuant to Municipal Code of Chicago, Section 2-57-110, which requires the filing of quarterly reports. This quarterly report provides information for the period January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015. The information contained in this report is accurate as of March 31, 2015. All of IPRA's public reports are available at vvww.iprachicago.org.
Quarterly Overview
During the first three months of 2015, IPRA opened 298 investigations. Eighty-two of those cases were the result of officers discharging their Tasers. The 4 officer-involved shooting investigations during the first quarter of 2015 represent the smallest number of officer-involved cases from any quarter since the existence of IPRA in September 2007.
From the beginning of January to the end of March, IPRA completed 414 investigations. IPRA began 2015 having completed 27 sustained investigations during the first three months. These are investigations where discipline was recommended by IPRA. Mediation numbers remained steady; there were 24 cases during the last quarter where mediation was deemed appropriate and 22 officers accepted mediation, an acceptance rate increase of ten percent from the previous quarter. IPRA will continue to work with the Fraternal Order of Police and the Policemen's Benevolent & Protective Association of Illinois to extend mediation to those cases where it is warranted, thus leaving more investigative resources to close older cases.
IPRA continues to operate with the continued vacancy of a Supervising Investigator. However, 5 previously vacant Intake Aide positions have been converted to Investigator I positions and a total of 6 new Investigator I's are scheduled to start working at IPRA within the next few weeks. These new additions will allow for a slight restructuring and streamlining of the intake process and allow for additional flexibility to further increase efficiencies in the department.
The IPRA continues its efforts to engage with the community. IPRA was in the Austin Community on the City's Westside to attend and speak at the West Side Unity Town Hall Meeting with State Representative LaShawn Ford, 37th Ward Alderman Emma Mitts, and other stakeholders. The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority held an event at the 6th District Police Station in the Greater Grand Crossing Community to address gun violence and Officer-Involved shootings among other issues. IPRA was present to discuss its role in the police disciplinary process and answer questions. In March, IPRA was pleased to share information about the department to a group of youth at the community organization Imagine Englewood if... The IPRA also attended the three monthly Police Board Meetings held during this quarter

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.

10 "Complaints", reported as log numbers, is defined as all reports of alleged misconduct, whether from
the community or from a source internal to the Police Department, whether a Complaint Register number
has been issued or not. This does not include, absent an allegation of misconduct, reports of uses of Tasers,
pepper spray, discharges of weapons whether hitting an individual or not, or Extraordinary Occurrences.
Districts are identified based on the district where the alleged misconduct occurred. Some complaints
occurred in more than one District, they are counted in each district where they occurred. This list does
include confidential complaints.
