Officials took another step forward in the search for Chicago's next police superintendent.
Just like any job, the top six candidates have to get background checks. This afternoon, the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability was reviewing the findings of the semi-finalists.
Three of those six will be sent to the mayor's office. Mayor Brandon Johnson will have 30 days to either accept one of the finalists or reject them. If rejected, that's when a new search would begin."This is a momentous decision. It's not big, it's momentous. The impact of the new superintendent on the police department, more importantly on public safety in Chicago, is really, you can't stress it enough," said Eugene Roy, retired Chief of Detectives, CPD.
Roy went on to say this choice is significant right now with the Democratic National Convention set for Chicago next year.
