Mayor Brandon Johnson was urged Monday to choose counterterrorism Chief Larry Snelling to be Chicago’s next police superintendent with all signs pointing in that direction after in-person interviews with all three finalists.
Johnson is expected to announce the make-or-break appointment this week after spending much of Monday meeting face to face at City Hall with each of the three finalists: Snelling, 54; Angel Novalez, the Chicago Police Department’s 50-year-old head of Constitutional Policing and Reform; and Madison, Wisconsin, police chief Shon Barnes, 49.
