SB4070 establishes the CTA Transit Police Department to enhance safety on Chicago Transit Authority trains and buses.
SB4070 creates the CTA Transit Police Department, composed solely of sworn law-enforcement officers. This department will deploy 3-officer safety teams continuously through trains, stations, and buses, prioritizing high-crime locations. The Chicago Transit Authority will also implement a pilot program using AI-based weapon-detection scanners in high-crime stations and major bus hubs. Additionally, a limited facial recognition pilot program will be used to identify individuals with active violent-felony warrants or those prohibited from accessing CTA services.
