CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mayor Rahm Emanuel is going to propose replacing the Independent Police Review Authority with a new agency.

IPRA investigates police misconduct, including police-involved shootings.

Details are still being worked out. Aldermen were briefed on the proposal on Monday.

Sources told ABC7 that the official announcement is expected soon.
