## Resource

Chicago’s top cop, Superintendent Larry Snelling, is retiring after 30 years on the force, with Fred Waller stepping in as acting boss amid a search for his replacement. Snelling’s tenure saw a drop in murders and a smooth DNC, but also strained relations with City Hall and staffing woes. Meanwhile, burglaries at video gambling spots are surging, with crews smashing in at night to steal cash. The Chicago FBI chief, Douglas DePodesta, is also quitting—adding to federal law enforcement shakeups. And on a musical note, local guitarist Joel Paterson has joined Bob Dylan’s band, bringing his two-decade Chicago roots to the world stage.
