This resolution pertains to the public policy of Illinois and Chicago concerning the rights of public employees to organize, negotiate working conditions, and resolve disputes under collective bargaining agreements. It references the historical agreement between the Fraternal Order of Police and the City of Chicago, which allowed the Police Board to hear disciplinary actions. However, due to a recent arbitrator's award, police officers now have the option to choose between the Police Board or binding arbitration for case reviews. The resolution also acknowledges the consent decree that requires training for Police Board members and hearing officers on topics related to police conduct and community relations.

The resolution calls on the Illinois General Assembly to amend the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act to mandate comprehensive training for arbitrators and others presiding over police discipline grievances. This training should encompass a range of relevant topics, including statutory and constitutional rights, law enforcement policies, due process, collective bargaining agreements, and the consent decree. The goal is to enhance public trust in the Chicago Police Department and ensure fair hearings for officers. The resolution concludes with instructions to distribute copies to the House Speaker, Senate President, and Governor of Illinois. The fragmented text following the summary is incoherent and seems to be a roll call of aldermen by ward, but without further context, its significance cannot be determined.
