Chicago Police To Change Taser Policy For Fleeing Suspects
News, Non-Lethal January 19, 2018, Comments Off 0The Chicago Police Department has changed its policy towards officers using Tasers, discouraging the controversial practice of using the stun gun on fleeing suspects.
The new policies face a challenge from the city’s largest police union, which filed a complaint with the Illinois Labor Relations Board arguing that the department violated the union’s collective bargaining rights by implementing new rules without negotiating. That challenge is pending.
