It also includes a one-time bonus for all police officers that would be distributed in the first quarter of 2024.
"With this agreement in place, our administration can now direct our full focus on implementing accountability measures within the Chicago Police Department, supporting police offices, and a robust community safety agenda," Johnson said in a statement, in part.
