BREAKING: Chicago Police Supt. David Brown to Resign Later This Month
Brown took over the department in 2020 after the dismissal of Eddie Johnson following “a series of ethical lapses” that culminated in officers finding Johnson asleep in a city-owned vehicle. Johnson later told Lightfoot he had consumed alcohol and requested an inquiry, with the mayor later firing Johnson after he misrepresented elements of the story.
Brown’s department has faced criticism for its difficulties in hiring new officers and retaining officers on the force, and has also been criticized for its low clearance rates on homicides and other crimes. Chicago ended 2021 with nearly 820 homicides, marking the city's deadliest year in more than a quarter century. In response, Brown promised more police engagement within communities, admitting in a news conference,"we all know this has been a challenging year here in the city of Chicago."
