Disclaimer

This database of civil police misconduct claims aims to summarize the complaint, the Chicago police officers named, and the settlement/judgment amount, and does not purport to summarize the entire legal proceeding. Defendants typically deny the allegations in a complaint, and a settlement or judgment is not an indication that every allegation is true. This database does not reflect the additional, non-Chicago police officer defendants who may have been named in the case or the specific claims that remained at the end of each case.
