Poor-performing Chicago cops being placed on list

Commanders in the city will make a list of the worst-performing cops, who will be subject to a counseling session

CHICAGO — Chicago Police commanders recently were instructed to make lists of officers with the worst performance in their districts, according to the Fraternal Order of Police.

Officers on the list are subject to a counseling session, the FOP said in a bulletin posted on its website.

Over the last year, officers have undergone evaluations on everything from the number of tickets they write to the number of arrests they make.

But they don’t know the standards for winding up on a list of worst performers, FOP President Mark Donahue said.

“That hasn’t even been discussed with the union,” he said.
