Officer Dana Hillard narrowly avoided suspension after a fiery arrest at a Chicago police station, where he clashed verbally with an arrestee and used profanity — initially deemed misconduct by COPA. But his father’s legacy and Superintendent Snelling’s intervention flipped the script, leading to a revised finding focused on de-escalation training instead. Meanwhile, Hillard faces a separate firestorm: an inspector general’s recommendation to fire him for allegedly siphoning $18K from the PPP program, though no formal charges have been filed yet — while he still collects over $119K annually in a unit handling non-emergency calls and reportedly housing officers with past discipline issues.
