The Chicago Department of Transportation has posted a training video for Chicago police officers created in partnership with the Chicago Police Department. This is a great step in the right direction, and hopefully it will have some positive effects on the way officers deal with bicycle/auto collisions.

Reports must be filed in connection with any accident involving an injury, death or property damage in excess of $1,500 ($500 if there is no insurance coverage). See 625 ILCS 5/11-406 (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-406).
