Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Interim Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson are announcing that more than 450 body cameras are being shipped to Chicago this week as part of the Chicago Police Department’s body-worn camera pilot program.

Once training is complete, the cameras will be worn by officers and supervisors on all three watches in seven police districts participating in the pilot program. The cameras will be able to record audio and video, and save up to 72 hours on a single charge in high-definition. The first phase of the camera program has been successfully underway in the Shakespeare Police District, and now will expand to Austin, Wentworth, Deering, Ogden, South Chicago, and Gresham – covering one-third of the city.

On April 06, 2016, at approximately 8:48 p.m., the male juvenile was walking home after his basketball game. The minor reached the stairs of the CTA Green Line at Lake and Pulaski Street (S/W corner), when a dark blue vehicle with its interior light on and unknown male white driver drove alongside the curb and stopped. The unknown offender leaned over to the passenger side window which was already down and said “get in the car, get in the car, get in the car right now.” The minor was fearful and immediately went home and alerted his mother who called 911. Two weeks prior the minor encountered a similar incident in the same vicinity and believes it to be the same vehicle and the same unknown male white offender. That incident was unreported.
