Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Monday announced that the Chicago police officers involved in the botched 2019 raid on Anjanette Young’s home have all been assigned to desk duty as the CPD’s watchdog agency investigates.
Lightfoot said CPD Supt. David Brown ordered the officers taken off the street as the Civilian Office of Police Accountability continues its inquiry. COPA Chief Administrator Sydney Roberts said during the Chicago Police Board meeting last week that she expected the investigation to conclude early next year.
Addressing the media a day after she received the resignation of Corporation Counsel Mark Flessner, Lightfoot announced Celia Meza, the mayor’s counsel and senior ethics adviser, would lead the Law Department on an interim basis.
