The Chicago Police Department has just nine therapists on its staff to treat the approximately 12,200 members of the department, officials told members of the Chicago City Council on Thursday.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is running for re-election, often points to that budget line item as evidence of her commitment to the members of the beleaguered department, which is under a federal court order designed to ensure that the constitutional rights of Black and Latino Chicagoans are protected.
Brown has repeatedly said he believes the last couple years have been the most difficult time to be a police officer in American history. As of July, 34 Chicago police officers have been shot at or shot in the line of duty. Seven of those officers were wounded. However, the leadership of the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents the department’s rank-and-file members, has said that Brown’s decisions to cancel officers’ personal days is not only contributing to officer burn out but also violates the city’s contract.
Pressed by O’Shea — handpicked by Lightfoot to lead the City Council’s Aviation Committee — Gottreich declined to say what changes were under consideration to how officers’ days off are canceled.
