Perhaps with some experience from Election Night's Obamapalooza under their belt, the Chicago Police Department is joining 100 other forces from around the nation to add some extra security to this week's inauguration festivities in Washington D.C. The CPD is sending 48 officers to assist and CPD superintendent Jody Weis says they've been selected based on expertise. He also added that their absence would not affect the day-to-day operations of the CPD.
