COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS WEEK OF 2.20.23
COPA had a great time engaging the residents of Chicago in the community during the week of 2.20.23. Our office is committed to helping residents understand how to file a complaint or compliment an officer and explain to the public our role in police oversight. Below is a brief description of our most recent community engagement efforts.
