The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) has released drafts of its Audit and Program Review Annual Plan and Public Safety Outlook with details of proposed projects under consideration for 2024 for public comment. OIG invites input and feedback on the proposed projects through December 31, 2023.

"We are committed to working on what matters most to Chicagoans. As we plan and prioritize our oversight work, community feedback is vitally important," said Deborah Witzburg, Inspector General for the City of Chicago. "Chicagoans know their City."

Potential projects are developed from a variety of sources, including concerns and information sent to us by community members, ideas from OIG staff, deeper or connected analyses inspired by past projects, feedback from year-round community events, and more. OIG also analyzes its intake submissions for trends or recurring concerns.

OIG's Public Safety section works to improve the effectiveness, accountability, and transparency of the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and Chicago's police accountability agencies, and to transform the critical relationship between CPD and the communities it serves. Possible projects for 2024 examine CPD's organizational competence, the discipline process and outcomes for CPD members, and the allocation of resources for CPD, COPA, and the police board.

OIG aims to enhance the quality and relevance of OIG's audits and inquiries, making them more impactful and responsive to Chicagoans' needs. The office's Audit and Program Review section examines the efficacy of City services. Possible projects for 2024 include City development and regulatory audits, inquiries into City services for marginalized populations, and City finance and administration.
