CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago city officials say more police officers will be redeployed to the streets as part of a safety improvement effort.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Department
Superintendent Garry McCarthy say 92 officers will be shifted from
administrative positions, including from City Hall, to police beats.
Emanuel has said that 500 total police officers
would be redeployed to police beats. Last month, he said 150 officers were
shifted to police beats.
Chicago police say more cops on the streets means
building better relationships.
