CHICAGO — A former Illinois inspector general has been picked to oversee sweeping court-mandated reforms to the troubled Chicago Police Department.
U.S. District Judge Robert Dow Jr. on Friday announced that Maggie Hickey, a former federal prosecutor who is now a partner at the law firm Schiff Hardin, will monitor the changes ordered by a consent decree aimed at repairing a department with a long record of misconduct and excessive force, particularly against minorities.
In addition, Dow said he plans to designate David Coar, a retired federal judge, to be “special master” — an appointee tasked with working on the judge’s behalf. Dow’s order did not go into detail on Coar’s role.
