Hi there,

Today members of the District Council Nominating Committee launched the application and nomination process for the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, for the very first time. The Community Commission is a seven-member body that works to increase public safety, transparency, and community input into the Chicago Police Department (CPD), the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA), and Police Board operations, policies, and procedures.

The Nominating Committee represents the full diversity of our city, with representatives from each of Chicago's 22 Police District Councils. While the Mayor will make final appointments to the Commission, only candidates nominated by the Nominating Committee will have the opportunity to serve on this body.

Applications to serve on the 7-member Commission are open until Feb. 7, 2024 at 12pm. Qualified individuals passionate about shaping public safety can access the application via the CCPSA website at www.cityofchicago.org/chicagocommunitycommission.

To offer insights into the application process, criteria, and answer any questions you may have,  the Nominating Committee is hosting a webinar:

Date: Thursday- January 11, 2024

Time: 6pm-7pm

Register Here: https://cityofchicago-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GdKV6pKMRFKEyv_0PJt37w

Join us for this informational session, where members of the Nominating Committee will share essential details about the application and answer questions from potential applicants!
