The city and its insurers paid or agreed to pay about $26.1 million between 2006 and April to about 50 people who claimed police had wrongly arrested, beaten or otherwise harmed them or their relatives, city records show. No suburb precisely matches Waukegan’s combination of size and crime rate, but the city’s losses in police cases dwarfed other communities with large, busy police departments.

Waukegan police demographics
don’t match up with city’s
African-Americans and Hispanics account for more than 70 percent of Waukegan’s population, but its police force is mostly white, as is the entire top command staff. Most people who received payouts from the department after alleging wrongdoing are black or Hispanic, records show.
