## Resource

Chicago’s longest-serving police chief, Superintendent Larry Snelling, is stepping down July 15 after two years at the helm and a 32-year career, crediting his tenure with reduced crime and a flawless security operation for the Democratic National Convention. In his absence, veteran Deputy Superintendent Fred Waller will serve as interim leader — a role he’s held before — but insists it’s temporary. The city is launching a nationwide search, led by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, to identify three finalists, who will be chosen by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council. With the mayoral election looming, the next superintendent’s appointment could become a major political flashpoint.
