The Office of Inspector General found “strong evidence” of “race-based disparities” in an analysis of Chicago Police Department stops and use-of-force incidents.
The inspector general’s office announced in a news release Tuesday that it found these disparities after looking at incidents from Oct. 17, 2017, through Feb. 8, 2020. The office found that Black people were consistently at a disadvantage and white people were consistently at an advantage when faced with such policing scenarios.
The office looked over the police department’s Tactical Response Report data, which is a compilation of the forms officers have to fill out when an officer uses force. Black people were overrepresented in investigatory stops that lead to uses of force relative to their population in 17 out of 22 police districts, the release said.
During investigatory stops, Black people were also 1.5 times more likely to be searched than non-Black people and 1.5 times more likely to be pat-down. Chicago police officers were also more likely to use “higher-level force options” against Black people, the release said.
