De-escalation, Response to Resistance, and Use of Force Policy Reform
Use of Force Policy Reform • Home
Overview
The Chicago Police Department has a set of policies that dictate Department members’ ability to use force. The policies incorporated public feedback and codify the Department’s highest priority as the sanctity of human life.
You can view General Order 03-02, De-escalation, Response to Resistance, and Use of Force on the Department’s Directives portal.
Community Dialogues
The Chicago Police Department recently hosted a series of Community Dialogues in partnership with Creer Un Espace and the City Colleges of Chicago. These sessions created a space for community members to learn about CPD’s policies on de-escalation, response to resistance, use of force, procedural justice, and community policing. Participants also had the opportunity to share feedback, questions, and concerns that will help inform the Department’s ongoing work.
We are deeply appreciative of everyone who took the time to attend and contribute to these important conversations. Your voices and perspectives are essential to strengthening public safety and trust in Chicago.
At this time, there are no upcoming Community Dialogue events scheduled. We look forward to hosting additional sessions in the future and will share details here once new dates are confirmed.
Community Dialogues: Thank You for Joining Us!
