The Chicago Police Department on Monday introduced its Use of Force Dashboard , a publicly accessible collection of every police incident that involved an officer's use of force dating back to 2015.
According to WTTW News , the Chicago Police Department said that the online use-of-force tracking tool dashboard is a "central component" of its ongoing transparency efforts.
"We know how important creating a culture of transparency is when it comes to restoring faith and trust with the communities we protect and serve on a daily basis,” CPD Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a statement.
The dashboard indicates that since 2017, the department has responded to more than 7.8 million dispatch calls, arrested nearly a quarter million individuals, and recorded 13,872 use-of-force incidents in that timespan.
The Use of Force Dashboard will be updated monthly.
