In the six years since a team of Chicago Police officers incorrectly served a search warrant at the Near West Side home of social worker Anjanette Young, the use of residential search warrants has plummeted, police officials said this week. CPD officers last year executed 210 residential search warrants — an 84% decrease from 2019, the year of the Young raid, when officers used residential search warrants nearly 1,400 times, according to figures provided by CPD.
