Three finalists for Chicago police superintendent named by civilian-led commission; next move is Mayor Johnson’s
Madison police Chief Shon Barnes, from left, Chicago police Cmdr. Angel Novalez and Chicago police Deputy Chief Larry Snelling.
While reducing street violence and arresting criminals will be front and center, the next police superintendent will also need to rebuild trust with community members who have experienced unconstitutional policing and are eager to see a more respectful approach to residents.
Of the three finalists, Shon Barnes has the fewest direct connections to Chicago and the CPD. Before he was hired as the chief of police in Madison in 2021, Barnes was the director of training and professional development for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the body that investigates use of force incidents by CPD officers.
The new mayor called Thursday’s announcement “an important milestone” in the search. In a written statement, Johnson thanked the applicants and the commission and said he’s “confident that Chicago’s next superintendent will inspire trust, foster collaboration, and lead with integrity.” There were 54 applicants for the job. Thirty-two of them — including Snelling and Novalez — had experience working within the CPD.The commission’s president, Anthony Driver Jr., repeatedly told meeting attendees that their comments and questions would be posed to the candidates who advanced to the interview stage.
