Chicago’s new police superintendent David Brown has a vision for the city, a plan to fight summer violence, and an eye on his officers as the coronavirus continues to infect and kill members of the force.
Supt. Brown said the city can’t afford to let COVID-19 impact his goal to make Chicago safe.
Brown said there will be a greater emphasis on community policing and less on specialized crime fighting teams.
Brown said the department may need to issue more citations who host larger parties or gatherings in violation of the stay at home order.
And while billboards are promoting the stay at home order with the slogan “We Are Not Playing,” Brown has an innovative way he hopes to connect with young people that involves playing virtually.
