Cops review security after young impostor
The head of Chicago's police says the department has reviewed some security measures since a 14-year-old impersonated an officer last month, but more investigation is needed.
On Friday, Superintendent Jody Weis fielded a flurry of questions from Chicago aldermen on the admitted security breach at a South Side police station. That's where a boy wearing a uniform allegedly impersonated an officer for several hours, including time spent in a patrol car with another officer.
Weis says the boy entered the station through an unlocked back door. He's called on the Secret Service for an independent review of department security measures.
Weis says an internal investigation of the incident will be completed Feb. 23 and disciplinary action may take place then. The boy has pleaded not guilty in juvenile court to impersonating an officer.
