Chicago deploying 1,000 extra officers over weekend to deter looting
By Kaelan Deese - 08/15/20 03:14 PM EDT

Chicago will deploy 1,000 extra police officers across the city this weekend after the area experienced looting throughout downtown and some residential parts of the city this week.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) Supt. David Brown announced Thursday the city's safety plans following widespread looting and damages of businesses that resulted in over 100 arrests this week, a local NBC affiliate WMAQ-TV reported.

Brown said CPD would impose an extension for officers' hours and cancelation of days off, emphasizing, "this is our town; it doesn't belong to the criminals."


"Don't let these criminals run you out of this beautiful city," Brown said, adding, "Our department, our police officers will risk their lives to protect you. Not in our town, not in our city."

According to CPD police spokesman Tom Ahern, widespread looting broke out early Monday morning on Lake Street near Michigan Ave., with suspects using U-Haul trucks and cargo vans to steal away items from businesses in the area.
