• First Deputy Superintendent - Yolanda Talley
  First Deputy Superintendent Yolanda Talley, a 30-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, will now serve as second-in-command within CPD. She brings a wealth of experience, leadership and dedication to this historic role, becoming the first woman to hold the position of First Deputy Superintendent in the Department's history. Most recently serving as Chief of the Bureau of Internal Affairs, First Deputy Superintendent Talley oversaw all internal investigations within CPD, consent decree compliance efforts related to accountability and transparency, and the Department's recruitment initiatives. During her tenure as Chief and Deputy Chief, she spearheaded the Department's Recruitment and Retention efforts, ensuring a strong and diverse workforce for the future. Her distinguished career includes roles in the Bureau of Patrol, where she served as Deputy Chief of Area 1, and as Commander of the 015th (Austin) District. In these roles, she worked tirelessly to strengthen community relationships and reduce violence. Earlier in her career, First Deputy Superintendent Talley served as a Watch Operations Lieutenant, Sergeant in the 007th (Englewood) District, in the Narcotics Section of the then Bureau of Organized Crime and in the Human Resources Division. She also served as an undercover narcotics officer and member of the DEA/HIDTA Task Force. First Deputy Superintendent Talley is a member of International Association of Chiefs of Police and a graduate of Northwestern University's School of Police Staff and Command. She holds a master's degree in forensic psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.  Additionally, she currently serves as President of the St. Jude Police League, further demonstrating her commitment to service and community.

Nothing about her niece bragging about how "my auntie is probably your boss" when she got pulled over with a high ranking gang banger and a bunch of heroin in Yoyo's Lexus? (Sun Times coverage here) Or about the scandals of the Confidential Section at BIA? Or how the top spots are rapidly filling with people who couldn't pass a single promotional exam high enough to make it on their own? (remember, upon retirement, these micro-brains are stealing massive pension bumps based on politics, not earning it).

If Rumor Central is to be believed, Larritorious wanted nothing to do with this move - he didn't choose his First, but then again, who does? The First Deputy is supposed to run the day-to-day operations at the behest of the mayor while the supernintendo does photo ops. That formula hasn't been followed since John Thomas was in the spot and that was after Townsend ran it for a couple of supernintendos.

Interesting times ahead as various Yoyo scandals are revealed.
