In the wake of recent deadly police encounters with the public, a group of Illinois police chiefs thinks officers should have to file written reports every time they use force, deadly or less-than-deadly. The Illinois Association of Law Enforcement Executives, comprised of current and retired chiefs, says the written reports would let the public know how frequently police use force, a number they say is less than two-percent of the time. The group plans to present their proposal to lawmakers early in the next session.
