POLICE OFFICER FOUND NOT GUILTY FOR VIOLATING RESIDENCY
Chicago Police Officer T.W. was charged with violating the City of Chicago's residency policy because it was alleged that he lived in Lynwood, IL. The Superintendent sought his termination and presented surveillance evidence and testimony to support his position that the officer was using a phony Chicago address to cover for him living in a house in Lynwood. At trial, it was proven that the Superintendent surveillance and investigation was flawed, and he failed to prove his case. The veteran officer was awarded full back-pay and benefits and was immediately put back to work. 14 PB 2852 (2015)
