The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability plans to name three finalists Thursday for Chicago police superintendent, commission President Remmel Terry said.
The commission narrowed a field of 46 applicants seeking to replace former Superintendent Larry Snelling. Terry said the panel’s review focused on which of Snelling’s policies residents want the next superintendent to continue.
“We’re mainly focused on what they wanted to see continued under what previous Superintendent Larry Snelling implemented and what they wanted to see … added to whomever takes this seat,” Terry said in a radio interview on AM 560.
Terry did not name the three finalists or say what time Thursday’s announcement would come. The commission’s role in the broader selection process, including who makes the final appointment, was not detailed in the interview.
The announcement is expected later Thursday. Further details on the finalists and the timeline for choosing a permanent superintendent were not immediately available.
