To whom it may concern,
My name is Carmen Sacco, a student at National Louis University in the Public Administration graduate program. I am conducting research which is based on the Chicago Police Department’s Consent Decree, and I am looking for accurate feedback and input to significant concerns regarding the Consent Decree. I have learned that you possess extensive knowledge regarding the Consent Decree, and I have attached a list of questions that would be a great help for me to receive your feedback and insight on the Chicago Police Department Consent Decree.
Thank you,
Carmen Sacco
