Nearly 9,000 people were robbed in Chicago last year, according to police data. Unlike other victims, Anthony Driver is president of the commission helping to select a new police superintendent.

Joe Ferguson, the city’s former inspector general, said the lobbying raises “some unseemly appearances which, given that this is Chicago, should be of concern.”

The new CPD superintendent search officially kicked off with the first town hall meeting by Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability.

The first meeting to solicit public comment on who should next lead the Chicago Police Department was held in Austin Tuesday evening.

During his successful run for mayor, Brandon Johnson repeated four “Cs” he wanted in Chicago’s next police superintendent: competence, collaboration, compassion and Chicago ties.

Both candidates in Chicago’s mayoral runoff have declared they prefer an insider to replace departing Chicago Police Supt. David Brown.

The wave of high-level departures under Brown will make it difficult for the new mayor to find an insider who is qualified, battle-tested — and wants the job.

Each of Chicago’s 22 police districts will now have a three-person civilian oversight council made up of people from that community.
