When the parents still refused to leave the sidewalk in front of the studio, the Clarys said, Chicago police officers threatened to arrest them for causing a disturbance. The Clarys said police declined their request to file a report or perform a well-being check on any young women inside the studio.
The Clarys said the officers who responded ?seemed to know and were very friendly with? Kelly?s security guards. By the time I arrived at the studio to report on the alleged altercation, the Clarys and the police had left, and only the security guards remained. ?This has got to end,? Angelo Clary said in an interview a short time later, in the parking lot of a nearby restaurant. ?They?re all in his pocket and nobody?s doing anything.?
Asked the next morning if the Chicago Police Department is aware of any off-duty officers working security for Kelly, Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer, wrote via email: ?There?s no way for the department to really know this as there is no reporting requirement for non-command staff members [who] work secondary jobs.? The lack of oversight for officers working part-time jobs has been a source of controversy in Chicago.
Guglielmi added, ?May also be retired officers. If he has full-time security, it would be difficult for those to be police officers given their work schedules, overtime and court obligations.?
