With a Sunday deadline for selecting a new Chicago police superintendent, mayor closes in on crucial final choice
Aside from the mayor, a big city’s top cop is often the most public member of local government. Their ability to lead a bureaucracy — in Chicago, it’s the largest city department with more than 11,000 men and women who deal with the city’s toughest issues — often comes to help define a mayor’s tenure.
Craig Futterman, a University of Chicago law professor and police accountability expert, said that the next CPD superintendent should take concrete steps to transform the department’s culture by further prioritizing transparency and accountability. Considered one of the department’s use-of-force experts, Snelling was previously assigned to CPD’s training academy. He also testified about the importance of accuracy in officers’ incident reports; that was part of Chicago Police Board proceedings against four officers accused of exaggerating the circumstances that led up to the fatal police shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2014.
He now serves as chief of the Office of Constitutional Policing, which works to develop and implement internal department policies that adhere to the city’s consent decree, though compliance has been slow.
