Days after sexual misconduct accusations were made against Chicago police officers in the 10th District involving migrants, interim Police Superintendent Fred Waller said migrants who remain housed at various police stations need more permanent accommodations.
Waller declined to discuss the allegations during a Tuesday news conference, saying an investigation to determine whether any officers assigned to the 10th District had sexual contact with one of the migrants housed at that station remains ongoing.
“We can’t speak about that exactly, or specifically,” he said, adding that, in general, the Chicago Police Department has been “very welcoming and accommodating” to migrants housed at police stations.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability last Friday acknowledged it had launched a sexual misconduct probe into 10th District officers.
