O Shea s plan was also to focus law enforcement on capturing, prosecuting and convicting the city s most violent criminals. O Shea did not hesitate to work with the Rockford City Council to acquire more officers and resources.
That plan of engagement, beefing up the number of police officers, investing in police technology and focusing on the worst offenders, appeared effective until the pandemic struck during a tumultuous 2020.
Efforts to maintain and improve relationships ground to a halt in 2020 because of COVID-19. The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody led to contentious and at times violent clashes with protesters in Rockford. A violent gang battle claimed dozens of lives.
