On January 8, 2026, the Commission held a public listening session for community members to share concerns around potential collaboration between CPD and federal immigration enforcement, including ICE and CBP.
CCPSA said, “What we heard clearly from residents was that they wanted and needed the Superintendent to be part of this conversation. In response, the Commission will be holding a special meeting with Superintendent Larry Snelling to discuss CPD’s current policies and practices related to interactions with ICE and CBP during federal immigration enforcement.”
This meeting is currently in-person only because CCPSA has not always consistently published meeting recordings.
The end time listed on this assignment is an estimation based on the duration of past meetings of this type.

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.
