Traffic Stop Policy



Commission's Role in Traffic Stops Policy


The Commission is currently working to create a new policy around how CPD conducts traffic stops. As part of its authority, the Commission has the power to enact CPD General Orders.

The Commission is focusing on traffic stops because they are one of the most common ways in which police interact with community members.  We will be engaging the public throughout the policy development process. 

January 30th statement from President Driver on traffic stops.


Listening Sessions


The Community Commission for Public Safety & Accountability (CCPSA) is hosting a series of meetings across Chicago to gather community input on Traffic Stops.   

We are looking for community members to share their experiences with traffic stops and provide feedback on potential changes to the Chicago Police Department’s practices and what could be included in the policy on traffic stops. 

Please join us at an upcoming event.
