Lessons from the Aurora shooting - Sept. 6 in Glen Ellyn

 

Five people were killed and six Aurora Police Department officers were injured on Friday, February 15, 2019, when a disgruntled employee opened fire at other employees inside the Henry Pratt manufacturing company in Aurora, Illinois. Police arrived within minutes and exchanged gunfire, and then it took about 90 minutes to find the suspect in the expansive building before he was fatally shot.

Aurora Chief Kristen Ziman shares the credit for what she did to lead her department on that day and the days that followed, but there has been universal acclaim for her and her department

Now, Chief Ziman is prepared to give a presentation about what happened, how they responded, and how they evaluated their response. She gave one presentation for the Illinois Chiefs on August 22 in Urbana, and the next one will be September 6 in Glen Ellyn. Click here for more information.

NAACP, ILACP announce
10 historic Shared Principles;
how to adopt them as your own

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (ILACP) and the Illinois NAACP State Conference announced an affirmation of 10 Shared Principles that are designed to bridge the gap of mistrust between police and communities of color. The first of its kind in our nation’s history, the March 22, 2018, agreement between an NAACP state conference and a statewide law enforcement agency identifies the common ground between local law enforcement and communities of color in their commitment to safe communities.

ILACP President Brian Fengel encourages all police departments to adopt these principles as your own and have your department's name added to the list on our website.
