Case study
Shannon Spalding, Police Whistleblower
A site to carry an explosive corruption case.
Link active · last checked September 22, 2026
The challenge
Former police officer Shannon Spalding led an internal investigation that exposed corruption in the Chicago Police Department, winning a $2 million settlement and a public apology from the mayor — and needed a home for the coverage and her credentials as an expert witness.
The insight
A complicated case needs a site that gives enough, not everything.
The solution
Last Word Communications designed an easy-to-navigate site providing substantial but not overwhelming context on the case, with copy, images, and colour coordinated to project honour, responsibility, and civic mindedness for future employers in legal and law enforcement.
