Emanuel's head of IPRA would move over to run the new agency, and the mayor's plan doesn't spell out how future directors of the agency would be selected. To the dismay of several aldermen, COPA also would not have a guaranteed budget, allowing for the possibility it could be weakened in the future through spending cuts. A new police watchdog would be appointed by the city's inspector general, who also is appointed by the mayor, and COPA would not be free to hire its own attorneys separate from the Emanuel-controlled Law Department.
