Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown on Friday touted some recent bright spots for the department, and pushed back on reports that some of his command staff have lost faith in his leadership.
At a lectern flanked with a long row of officers and command staff, Brown announced several arrests of young offenders involved in a string of retail thefts across the city, and told reporters he was unconcerned about a recent Chicago Sun-Times article in which members of his command staff anonymously questioned the direction of the department since Brown took over nearly 18 months ago.
