Officials of Chicago Police De
The Chicago Police Department has been under a lot of pressure to deal with allegations of corruption. The department's top officials have perpetuated "a practice of indifference" to corruption that "makes officers who engage in misconduct feel protected," says the report by consultant Lou Reiter, a former deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. The officials say that Reiter's view is based on a small amount of information and that he doesn't really know what's going on.

Enfield chief suspends lieuten
ENFIELD - A police lieutenant who is the target of an internal investigation has been suspended with pay, Enfield Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said Thursday.
Sferrazza declined to release the name of the lieutenant, who was suspended Sept. 5, as police officials continue to investigate his conduct.

"We hope to conclude the investigation by next week," Sferrazza said. "We're not releasing anything that could jeopardize the investigation."
He would not discuss allegations or details of the investigation, but said Town Manager Matthew Koppler and the Town Council have been notified of the suspension.
"Our Police Department takes the situation very seriously and is taking appropriate action," Koppler said Thursday.
He said the lieutenant "will stay on leave until the investigation is complete."
While officials remain tight-lipped about the matter, Mayor Patrick L. Tallarita said he puts faith in the Police Department.
"I have the utmost confidence in the action they're taking," he said.
Human Resources Director William Mahoney declined to comment on the investigation Thursday and also would not identify the lieutenant.
Sferrazza assured that police are taking every precaution necessary.
"There is not a lot we can say at this time, but the lieutenant will not come back to work until the issue is resolved," he said.
The last suspension of any officer announced by the chief was last May when he suspended four officers following an internal investigation into an off-duty police gathering in March where alcohol was served.
Officer Matthew Worden was suspended for 60 days without pay, Officer Bryan Nolan was suspended for 45 days without pay and Officers Matthew Meier and Christopher DuFresne each received a 30-day unpaid suspension in connection with that night's events.
