A day before Chicago’s embattled police superintendent steps down, the head of a new civilian commission tasked with finding his replacement vowed to find a “visionary” who can shepherd the department through “a time of great challenge and change” without bowing to an incoming mayor who will inevitably have the final pick.
Police Supt. David Brown’s tenure was marked by skyrocketing violent crime, low morale, controversial policy decisions and missteps on the city’s arduous road to reform.
Mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas had vowed to fire Brown, and have since said they would prefer hiring someone from within the department. “We’re not here to serve an administration, we’re not here to serve the City Council,” added Driver, the executive director of the SEIU Illinois State Council. “We are here to serve the community.”
During the search for the next superintendent, the commission will hold at least four public meetings across the city while also engaging officers, policing experts and community and advocacy groups “to ensure that our process is accountable and responsive to the needs of all Chicago residents,” Commissioner Remel Terry said.
“We’ve been researching folks who have had success and what they’ve done in those cities,” Driver said. “And [the commission is] looking at if there’s a way to replicate that and/or make it better in Chicago.”
