And audio.

And 9-1-1 calls.

And radio transmissions.

And all very haphazardly - there's no universal index that we found, just categorized by date and CL/CR number.

This won't deter the media from assigning junior reporters to listen to it all. Or law firms from ordering interns to listen/view everything in the hopes of making it rain city money.

The FOP is unhappy:

• “The Lodge addressed our displeasure at being given less than a 24-hour notice that something this important to our members was going to be done with such minimal notice and input. To say this meeting turned contentious would be an understatement,” Angelo wrote.
  
  “We sternly addressed our concerns about our members’ privacy, the length of the IPRA investigations, potential of violations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the possibility of an Unfair Labor Practice. The Lodge had absolutely no input in this process. We were notified less than 24-hours of the press release . . . It is sad when, with all the talk about transparency and communication, they decide to operate in this manner.”

Without context and explanation, the data dump is just that - a dump. We're expecting a lot of "out-of-context" sound bites to be the norm over the next few weeks and days, stretching into years no doubt.

But this is what Rahm wants, and will no doubt add to his massive push to dismantle the Contract next year. The only counter rank-and-file police have is to deny Rahm/IPRA/ALCU/DOJ/CPD Brass future data to release by withdrawing from the community - respond, cut paper, leave, repeat.
