At the same time, the Chicago Police Department — the agency administering the grant — said it never gave permission for the grant to be used that way. The SUV accusations were contained in a 62-page assessment of Harvey's Police Department by the Cook County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's office on Monday stood by its report, which stated that interviews with the chief and the city's grant writer "revealed a change was made to this grant at the request of the mayor. " The sheriff's report also said the mayor's use of the SUV appeared to be a misuse of federal grant funds. Last fall, a bloc of Harvey aldermen — against the mayor's wishes — brought in the Cook County sheriff to audit the police force in a community that Tribune investigations previously found had a toxic mix of violent crime and subpar policing.
