New documents show Rantoul Police Department cleared main officers of wrongdoing in 2023 fatal shootings
After two fatal officer-involved shootings in early 2023, the Rantoul Police Department conducted internal investigations into the use-of-force during those incidents. Newly obtained documents show the department cleared three officers involved in the city’s first-ever fatal police shootings — including the two who pulled the trigger — and found one officer violated department policies.
