City Council will vote Wednesday on whether to confirm Larry Snelling as Chicago's next police superintendent.
Snelling received unanimous approval from a City Council committee last week. The final confirmation vote will take place at 10 a.m. in City Hall.
"It is a tremendous honor to answer the call to serve my hometown and the people of Chicago as superintendent of the Chicago Police Department," Snelling said in a statement upon his nomination. "It is also a tremendous responsibility, and one that I do not take lightly." Previously, Snelling served as the Deputy Chief Area 2 from 2020 until 2022, Commander of the 7th District in 2020, Lieutenant of the 7th District from 2019 until 2020, Sergeant of Training from 2011 until 2019, Sergeant of Patrol of the 22nd District from 2010 until 2011 and as an instructor in the training academy from 2001 until 2010.
Academically, he received his BA from DePaul University and is currently a candidate for a Masters of Ethical Leadership from the University of Chicago.
