Fred Waller, who rose through the ranks of the Chicago Police Department to chief of patrol, chief of operations and then third in command, emerged Monday as the front-runner to serve as interim superintendent and, perhaps, audition for the permanent job.
Waller did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
“Waller’s had a lot of experience. He worked through the ranks and worked with the rank-and-file as head of patrol,” Lee told the Sun-Times. “He has a good sense of what’s going on and where folks are at and how to get the most out of folks who are working on the front lines. He’s been involved in a number of different experiences that are going to be relevant and are relevant to keeping the city safe, particularly during the summer months.
Waller’s son is a Chicago police officer. Even after rising to the No. 3 job, Waller said he still felt like a beat cop and worked hard to show rank-and-file that they have his support.One of the proudest moments in his career came in December 2018. Officers Conrad Gary and Eduardo Marmolejo were both struck and killed by a commuter train on the Far South Side while the two were chasing a man suspected of firing a gun nearby.
One week after Waller announced his retirement, the Sun-Times reported Waller had been suspended for 28 days for using the word “rape” during a meeting at police headquarters to express his feelings about officers being moved out of police districts to other units.He made the remark before a group that included federal monitor Maggie Hickey and Christina Anderson, the police official in charge of court-ordered reforms. Anderson filed an internal affairs complaint against Waller over the comment.
