Former CPD officer faces felony charges, city’s inspector general says

A former Chicago police officer has been charged with multiple felonies of perjury and forgery, the city’s Office of Inspector General announced Tuesday afternoon.

Kriv, 56, appeared in court Tuesday and was ordered to be released from jail on his own recognizance, according to court records.According to Assistant State’s Attorney Thomas Fryska, Kriv was fired on Jan. 10, before his retirement set for Jan. 20, due to the charges. “The truthfulness and credibility of police officers is foundational to the fair administration of justice, and to CPD’s effectiveness as a law enforcement agency,” Inspector General Deborah Witzburg said in a written statement. “We are grateful to CPD and to the state’s attorney’s office for their partnership in this investigation.”

The inspector general learned that Kriv had contested a parking ticket on Oct. 13, 2021, to one of his personal vehicles by claiming that he had received a second citation for the same parking violation just 15 minutes earlier, Fryska said. But the copy of the ticket was signed by an Officer “D. Stuart” with Kriv’s star number, and was actually a ticket Kriv had written as a CPD officer on a different date to a different vehicle.
