The Chicago Police Department is “dedicated to ensuring that the people who ride the CTA are safe,” Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference Monday following the fatal shooting of a man on the Red Line.
Chicago police Officers Paul Lauber and Manuel Garza patrol the 95th Street Red Line CTA station in Chicago, Aug. 8, 2022.
Brown said the department’s police officer deployments to the transit system are “strategic and data driven” and officers are being pulled from desk duties to help meet demand. Despite the recent fatal shooting, Brown emphasized that CTA crime is down 43% when compared to 2019 numbers before the pandemic, but crime numbers are up when compared to last year.“A single incident can color everything we do,” Brown said.
“We ask all residents on the CTA to report what they see that’s suspicious so we can respond,” Brown said. Brown would not elaborate on specific number of officers being deployed to the CTA, citing security concerns.
