CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORTS

The Annual Report was initially published in the Chicago Daily Tribune as a Quarterly Report. By 1862 it became an Annual Report and by 1875 it was published in its own bound publication. The Annual Report was discontinued between 1972 and 1985. In its place the “Chicago Police Department Statistical Summaries” were published. These, in effect, acted as the annual reports for the Department until the Annual Report was reintroduced in 1986. In 2010, the Annual Report was once again discontinued during Superintendent Gary McCarthy’s administration. 2010 was the last year it was published; however the 2011 Annual Report was prepared by the Research and Development Division but Superintendent Gary McCarthy refused to sign off on it. In 2018, the Annual Report was for a second time reintroduced during Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson’s administration. On October 26, 2018, The Chicago Police Department released the 2017 Annual Report after a seven year absence.
