Follow-up Inquiry on the Chicago Police Department’s Preparedness for Mass Gatherings

The Public Safety section of the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) has completed a follow-up inquiry of its February 2021 review of “Chicago’s Response to George Floyd Protests and Unrest.” In its February 2021 report, OIG found that despite advance information signaling the planning of large-scale public protest gatherings following the murder of George Floyd, the Chicago Police Department was under-equipped and unprepared to respond to the scale of the protests and unrest in the downtown area and across Chicago’s neighborhoods from May 29 through June 7, 2020.
