Three finalists have been selected by a Chicago public safety commission for the city's next police superintendent, with the final decision resting in Mayor Brandon Johnson's hands.
Johnson now has 30 days to make a decision: either whittle the three finalists down to his top pick or ask the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability for three more options. His top candidate will then be presented to the Chicago City Council — from there, the council has 60 days to confirm the mayor’s choice.The next police executive will replace interim Superintendent Fred Waller, a 34-year veteran chief of the Chicago Police Department.
Barnes is best known for his experience in crime reduction, community-based and problem-oriented policing strategies, and community-police relations. Novalez also held a critical role as deputy chief of the office in 2020. He was tasked with leading community policing two weeks after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers.
