Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling announced Wednesday that he’s retiring, just a day after he announced broad changes to his command staff and installed a new second-in-command.
“After more than 30 years of service within the Chicago Police Department, I have made the difficult decision to retire on July 15, 2026,” he wrote in a letter addressed to “my fellow Chicagoans.”
“Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to give back to the city I love through different assignments across the department. I must also thank Mayor Brandon Johnson for choosing me to serve the residents of Chicago and to lead the heroic men and women of the Chicago Police Department.”
Police veteran Fred Waller will again serve as acting superintendent while a search is conducted for Snelling’s permanent replacement, Mayor Johnson said Wednesday.
This man did so much to restore law and order in Chicago after Beetlejuice's reign of discontent.
