The Chicago Police Accountability Task Force (CPATF) was a task force created to "review the system of accountability, oversight and training that is currently in place for Chicago's police officers" in 2015.[1][2] It was announced via press release on December 1, 2015,[1] in the wake of the murder of Laquan McDonald and the protests and political fallout afterward.[3] On April 13, 2016, the task force released its final report, which found "racism and systemic failures in the city's police force, validating complaints made for years by African-American residents."[4]
