More than 50 people have applied to become the next permanent superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, according to the body tasked with submitting three finalists to Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson.
Anthony Driver Jr., president of the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, told reporters Wednesday that 53 candidates submitted their materials for consideration before the May 7 deadline. Of those, 32 applicants have current or former ties to the CPD, Driver said.Driver said the commission would not disclose the names of those who applied. The commission now has until mid-July to select three finalists and submit those candidates to Johnson.
The commission has, so far, hosted three in-person meetings across the city and a fourth via video conference to solicit feedback from citizens about what they want in the next leader of the CPD. Speakers at the meeting have overwhelmingly supported the idea of a CPD veteran as the next head of the department.
Notably absent from the applicant pool is Fred Waller, the former CPD chief of patrol who will serve as interim superintendent after Johnson is sworn in next week. After his interim appointment was announced last week, Waller said he would not apply for the permanent job, and he was “a man of his word,” Driver said Wednesday.
