Chicago, IL — Lorenzo Davis is a
65-year-old retired Chicago police commander who left the department in
2004 after 23 years of service.
During that time, Davis had obtained a law degree, masters in criminal justice, and he’d woken up to what he referred to as a lack of discipline within the ranks of the Chicago Police Department.
“I did not like the direction the police department had taken,” Davis said in an interview with WBEZ. “It appeared that officers were doing whatever they wanted to do. The discipline was no longer there.”
In 2008, Davis decided that he would go back into police work, only this time, he’d be policing the police.
After multiple scandals, cover-ups, and corruption cases, the unit responsible for investigating allegations of abuse within the CPD, which was a part of the CPD, was moved to its own independent office. The former Office of Professional Standards was moved out of the control of the CPD and under the direct control of Mayor Richard M. Daley and renamed the Independent Police Review Authority.
