COPA had a great time engaging the residents of Chicago in the community during the week of 03.16.26. This week our Public Affairs team was in the Armour Square, Rogers Park, and New City communities.
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.
