The search for the new Chicago police superintendent officially kicked off Tuesday night with the first of at least four town hall meetings.
In the past, the search for a new superintendent was conducted by the police board. For the first time, a newly-formed civilian oversight committee is putting the public at the center of the process.The meetings are hosted by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, a civilian body formed in 2022 to give residents more say in police oversight.
The commission hopes to nominate three candidates by July. Mayor Brandon Johnson will then have 30 days to choose one of those three or request a new set of candidates. During his mayoral campaign, Johnson said he preferred a superintendent from within the Chicago Police Department, but the committee's search will be nationwide and centered on community interests.
