Chicago police will deploy 1,000 officers to the city’s central shopping district, the “Magnificent Mile,” and into neighborhoods being targeted by rioters and looters in an effort to curb the violence plaguing local businesses.
In a press conference held late Thursday, Chicago’s police superintendent David Brown said that the city would add 1,000 more officer shifts over three days, Friday through Sunday. This is similar to a deployment the department undertook several weeks ago, sending 1,200 additional officers into south and west side neighborhoods where gang violence has been on the upswing.
