List of cops still under seal
Judge to aldermen: Try another way to get their names

Aldermen who want a list of police officers with the most excessive force complaints over the last five years will have to wait a little longer after a federal judge on Thursday denied their request for the document.

Lawyers for 28 aldermen asked U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow to make the list available, but Lefkow said the question of the list being released already is in the hands of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Matthew Piers, an attorney for the aldermen, said the group was simply asking Lefkow to have Mara Georges, the Daley administration's chief attorney, abide by previous promises that an unredacted list of the officers' names would be made available to them.

Aldermen have been given a version of the document, but with the names of the officers redacted. The records showed that 10 officers assigned to the police department's Special Operations Section had 408 allegations of wrongdoing filed against them, and of those complaints just three were sustained by the Office of Professional Standards.
