Chicago public safety commission to hold first public meeting in police superintendent search
Chicago's Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability is holding the first of five scheduled listening sessions Monday as part of the process of searching for a new police superintendent.
The listening session is set for 6:30 p.m. Monday at Malcolm X College, 1900 W. Jackson Blvd.
People will be able to share the leadership qualities and priorities they want to see in the CPD's new leader after Supt. Larry Snelling retired last month.
