Illinois’ largest city is pushing for more scrutiny into organizations joined by law enforcement personnel. CBS News reports the 9 officers are believed to have ties to the Oath Keepers, a far-right organization that was major force behind the January 6th insurrection. Chicago’s community commission for public safety and accountability is calling for the investigation of nine Chicago police officers and their alleged involvement in extremist and hate-based organizations. The seven-member civilian led group unanimously approved to move. The vote is in favor of the Office of Inspector General to audit CPD’s process and practices for identifying and disciplining officers who associate with extremist groups and assess whether it’s effective and recommend termination.
