A new police academy is learning from NYC and LA, but not Chicago

A new police training program is underway in Chicago. And it’s drawing from successes in departments in other major cities like New York and LA. The Policing Leadership Academy will focus on just that: training police leaders and supervisors. But even though it’s here in Chicago, the lesson plan won’t be based on practices within the Chicago Police Department.

As the academy welcomes its first cohort, Reset turns to three of the people who helped design the six-month program.

GUESTS: Charlie Beck, former LAPD Police Chief and interim Chicago police superintendent from December 2019 to April 2020

Roseanna Ander, executive director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab

Kenneth Corey, former NYPD Chief of Department and director of Outreach and Engagement at the University of Chicago Policing Leadership Academy
