Chicago police consider civilian desk jobs to free officers
Chicago police would free as many as 500 officers for street duty by hiring civilians for desk work, says Superintendent LeRoy Martin on City Desk. He notes 800 desk positions are filled by uniformed officers and criticizes coverage of police brutality by black media. In Belleville, police report little progress identifying a decapitated woman found in a cornfield near I 64 with no leads.
