A wide-ranging investigation spurred on by the death of Eric Lurry in 2020 has found that Joliet police have demonstrating a pattern of “using unreasonable force.”
The hundred-plus page report looked into the department as a whole, and not just at the Lurry case, according to Raoul’s office. The Attorney General’s Office investigation into the police department examined the approaches and training of officers, and aimed “not to relitigate” Lurry’s death. “Nothing was new for me,” Nicole Lurry said. “Three years ago, going into this investigation, I knew all of it was going to come out as factual.”
“This is not the Joliet Police Department of today, but rather a picture of the past,” Chief Bill Evans said in a statement. “Since the onset of the investigation, we have fully cooperated with the Attorney General’s Office. We provided them with unfettered access to all available information because we wanted to be as transparent as possible. In reading the report, we respectfully disagree with some of the conclusions drawn from their investigation.
