The end time listed on this assignment is an estimation based on the duration of past meetings of this type.
Audio Role – We’re excited to introduce Audio as a new role! To be eligible for these assignments, you need to attend and complete training. Once your badge appears on your profile, it’s your sign that you’re ready — and you’ll be able to apply for (and maybe be selected for) audio assignments.

Agency Information
Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability
In July 2021, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance creating a new model for police oversight, accountability, and public safety. The ordinance creates two types of bodies: a citywide Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, with power to advance systemic reform, and District Councils, which will be elected in each police district and work to improve policing and public safety in the district. The Commission and District Councils will bring police officers and Chicago residents together to plan, prioritize, and build mutual trust; strengthen the police accountability system; give Chicagoans a meaningful new role in oversight; and explore and advance alternative effective approaches to public safety.
