    Ald. Hairston to Introduce Ordinance Abolishing IPRA

    Ald. Leslie Hairston (5) wants to replace the Independent Police Review Board, the city agency in charge of investigating cases of police misconduct, with a citizen-run panel. She will be detailing those plans at a press conference at 11:00 a.m. today on the second floor of City Hall.

    “The proposed ordinance abolishes the Independent Police Review Authority and replaces it with the Independent Citizen Police Monitor—a credible civilian agency to investigate police shootings, use of force, domestic violence, bias, and coercion,” a release from Hairston reads, “because you can’t keep shuffling the deck with the same people and call that accountability.”
