Forty-Four Applicants
Forty-four people applied to lead the Chicago Police Department, the president of the commission charged with picking CPD’s next top cop said Monday.
In 2023, the last time Chicago needed a new chief law enforcement officer, 53 people applied for the job. In 2020, 23 people applied to lead the police department, records show.
Applicants include current and former members of the Chicago Police Department, as well as candidates from outside of CPD, according to a statement from the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability.
Further info:
The commission has until Nov. 12 to recommend three finalists to Johnson, who is running for reelection. Election Day is Feb. 23.The mayor will then have 30 days to choose a superintendent or ask for another slate of options before asking the Chicago City Council to confirm his choice.
So Conehead will have some say in the future Supe....who may only serve a few months before being fired by a new mayor? Makes perfect sense.
If we hear anything about the actual applicants, by name or by qualification, we'll let you know. Unknown if JCat actually put his name in or he just removed the FOP from having any sort of input into the process.

Seems about right for this mayor and his administration.
Waist time, money and effort for a few months of some stooge.
Fasten your seatbelts kids because that few months aren’t going to be fun.
I must have missed the amc message
I don’t know who they’re gonna get, does nobody on the CPV that I would even trust. Most of the bosses don’t even know what they’re doing or how to be a boss. Most of the bosses get very little training on how to be bosses. The whole thing is FUBAR.
It’s time for an outside person. The bosses around here are clueless. That is as nice as I could say it.
Only shitheads need apply with Johnson having a say. And that's okay only if Riccio was giving it thought.
They already picked the finalist, what a charade! What’s amazing is that outsiders would waste their time in going through the application process. They must not read much about Chicago.
Heard Seiser put in. Hope he gets it
My sources tell me that alderman Peter Chico is putting his name in
I think this charity one and the Miami one are my favorites so far.
Not one competent person amongst the clown show
I can't remember the actual name but I wonder if the one nicknamed "Granny Clampett" applied.
Did J Scat really apply?
If only the members were given a seat at the table. Oh right, they were until JCat pulled the chairs out from under them.
Man, for the last three years I am so glad I went on disability after my disabling injury. My first 7 years I did everything to come back to work, but no doctor would clear me. Out of 10 years, my last 3 I've come to realize getting injured was a blessing, so I don't have to deal with the 95% of ignorant people on this job. I enjoy reading the blog just to remind me of how blessed I am. WE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES. I LOVE THE WEATHER HERE IN FLORIDA!
If anyone believes FOP has any input in the process(Jkitty or not) I have a bridge to sell you.
The fact that they applied should disqualify them, if this is a step up for an outsider what kind of shithole are they trying to leave?
Perhaps that lady from IAD with that criminal family would be a good fit to lead the chicago way.
Remember that time John Catanzara called the members stupid for believing he said he was interested in the Superintendent position? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Both! What say you now JPussy? Cat got your tongue? Where are all the other ass liquors who were saying oh my God that’s made up where are you? FOIA certainly shut your mouths huh? In case you’re counting DiSanti there are way more than 5! Maybe 5000! Go back to your porn.
Shitcago, you’ve tried the rest, now try the best. I’ll do it remote from my boat or the beach on Siesta Key for 250k.
the 3 picks will be
male black female black female hispanic
I wonder if granny clampet is in the mix.
Bonus points if you're trans bipoc two spirit person that sometimes identifies as a corn cob.
I put my name in. Of course, I would be the prettiest candidate.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Leo Schmitz, the only qualified candidate from CPD
You forgot black trannie, you know gots to be dIEverse and sheeeet
You really should be checked out for mental illness if you want to be the Superintendent of this shit show.
No lesbian or trans ? What has happened to this city ?
Input on a process that does not respect the concerns of the FOP. Just so they can say FOP was at the table. The question should be why do you be at the table as face of the process.
Sgt Rolon should throw in his man-purse, I mean his fedora.
The department needs an ultra metrosexual as Sup.
My money will be on a female, qualified or not, that gets the spot.
They won't pick the same kind of leadership we already had in the past.
You need that old broad from New Orleans. Grannie Clampet at the helm
Better yet, are we talking a Bears Super Bowl?
CPD has been missed managed for years. Incompetence loves incompetence.
Yeap.
Seiser will really run it then
LOL………….
That’s so true!
Talk about racism, white guy not need to apply. No democrat will hire him for any top spot.
Couldn’t agree more.
He has literally gone drunk with power.
God bless you. Most wisdom I heard in a while.
FOP has become a puppet company union. We have ILETSB, Cameras, and dictator bosses! So much for getting time off, every holiday is cancelled.
That sounds about right. You see what you get with the we are in charge movement. No fairness! Whites male not need apply.
We’ve had outside people before, it doesn’t work. Look, we have people within our agency that can do the job effectively. Looking out for and cheering for her, yup, ya got it. New Supe, Davina Ward.
I think it definitely has to be another person of color. That is the only fair thing to do to ensure social justice. And that person's background should be mostly in administrative positions or physical education. That is the only type of leadership a police department needs. We don't need or want someone with practical experience working the street and understanding what strategies work to reduce crime. NO, we need a Superintendent who reflects the community that it serves. The new sup needs to have had all merit promotions, can effectively rehash old strategies that never worked but was able to come up with a great new name. My favorite was putting cops in a geographic box that they couldn't leave. That's a tried an true favorite of the DEI clan. So let us embrace the next superintendent, but only if its a person of color. Or an illegal would be very inclusive also.
44 applicants? My neighbor owns a Wendys franchise. When he puts out a search for new hires he gets about 75-100. Just saying...
You forgot black trans
Hmm..you must be a CPS teacher
Unconcern yourself with the blog. No one is interested in you and your bragging about living in Florida off of OUR, not YOUR pension fund. The fact that you post on here without being humble leads us to believe you are a scammer who probably never did one ounce of police work in your short career on the street. Let me guess, you injured your finger and cannot shoot your gun? That particular injury is the biggest scam that the Pension Board is approving and it is nothing but dereliction of duty on their part. A thorough investigation should be conducted into the Pension Board and how they routinely deny the worthy and approve the scammers.
I was once a corn on the cob then became an apple now I be a Sgt of police.
Tell us about the severity of your injury and how long you were on the job prior to your injury.
Why is a world class loser like Shon Barnes even in the mix according to CWB? The guy is lazy and incompetent.
Shut up Dave
It’s all a circus show anyways, in the end the mayor picks who he wants
All over educated usless ball lickers Im sure
Outside hire, stop merits forever, prohibit it through general order like they took away our baseball hats. Make a city and state amendment prohibiting merit picks, only by test. At least make them cheat on the test to get their people in.
that's racist....
Plus you an get...."seed"...money from JCat.....
Go see a city doctor Mr. Goldbricker....IA is on you lazy ass now. ...better be Merit Jimmy
But wait, just like the other Democratic shit holes they are gonna waste money on self cleaning toilets about 400,000 or more look at this. This is where our taxpayer money is going not the public safety not to help reduce taxes. Oh no they’re putting money into things like this. This is incredible. Talk about a waste of money typical Democratic ideals.

jussie smollay put his name in and said his qualification is that he is good with police reports
Dude, it’s all about the zort. Take the $ and run. Lead a couple blue state shit police departments and book for Boca!
Jcat for mayor, superintendent and commissary commissioner
I don’t considerate it a blessing to be on disability My son was put on disability after being shot and tried everything to get back on but couldn’t. He didn’t see it your way as a blessing
Going to be a civilian.
C. McKenzie
You shouldn’t have been on CPD if you could make 250K working remotely off of your boat
May throw in a male white who would never even be considered just to try to show it was fair
It will be Shon Barnes, and don’t hold your breath on BJ losing in the mayoral race.
I agree the dark horse for the win!
Anne Kilpatrick….see current New Orleans Police Chief
Should of called Mike Lappe he would of got your ass back to work!
Just got fired in Seattle as well
bears and the toilet bowl, what used to be called Soldier Field
Scam artist Alert ! Prolly telling fake ass war stories to the Florida residents...you know this to be true !
Who was your chinaman Ed Bugsy Burke you ten year disability pensioner.
I'm so pretty, very pretty, I'm so witty, I'm so...
Maybe one of the Wendy’s applicants can be superintendent. Probably more street experience than these jamokes
It's not a man purse! It's a european carryall...
And footlong tuna subs!
He definitely would get it
Fenner would be a great pick. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of street experience!!
Sorry about your injury. Find something to do in Florida buddy.
We just had an outside person in Brown. Hiring from outside or inside, it doesn’t matter. The people making the decision are retarded, therefore, we get retarded people to lead us.
It may be time to bring in another outsider to manage this place.
McStreetLight didn't do too badly. I just hope that whoever is selected
is up to the job, with some real perseverance, because there's a lot
that needs fixing here. Motivating the troops to get out there and
be the police again is going to be a hard sell, but someone has to
try.
And of the 44 candidates for Sup, how many do you think are qualified to work at your neighbor’s Wendys’?
and no more subject matter experts. no exempts allowed to see the test before its administered
44 and they all suck
She's currently the Chief of Police for New Orleans.
Forte-four applicants, I thought this was the number of recuits that passed the lowered standards as new hires?
When will the search committee name the top three?
We know Ursitti put in. She is acting like she will be the next Sup. The Mayor is going to choose her. Let’s not forget she took CIT from another officer and presented as her own. She may be academically knowledgeable, but locks street policing.
The FOP having "input" would just be a useless formality anyway. Similar to "input" for the Consent Horseshit Decree. They will never listen to us or reason. The politicians will do what they want for self-serving reasons.
Garry McCarthy is responsible for this chain reaction that ultimately lead to the death of CPD. He decided to bring in his, broken window, NY/NJ style of policing here. Which on paper why not. But he disbanded successful units, closed areas, implemented a new chain of command and practically renamed everything. He ruled with an iron fist and demanded quantity over quality, meaning quotas. He implemented Comstat and is responsible for the Consent Decree along with the toadies he promoted. His and Rahm’s mishandling of the JVD shooting opened the floodgates, leading us to this point in time. Had they had the balls to address that shooting immediately after, they’d still be employed. He destroyed this Department. Not intentionally, shit we could be the Police when he was in charge. I don’t hate the guy, but he grabbed the hammer and nail that eventually sealed the coffin for CPD. Make sure to catch his rosey red face on his Fox 32 segment where he try’s to stay relevant.
CPD will be sold just like the meters were.... watch BJ will do it, especially if he wins again.
Tom Dart is going to right this ship
Seiser will get it, you can be chief of patrol as long as you keeeeeees the wall
Wanted: DEI progressive black LBGQ alphabet,especially trans, pronoun police haters only. Must be willing to promote incompetent like thinkers,
Yes. I have worked for her and she is great
Yes and the fucking asshole liberals just wont believe this
"Yes! I carry a purse!"
- Jerry
You got no time on the job lol...why even brag?
JVD messed up. How did they mishandle the shooting? He clearly messed up.
I’d like to have coffee with you and pick your brain.
A lot of street experience. She has 8 honorable mentions in her career.
I agree with you ….O’Malley OR Clarke-Hansen
It will def be a civilian .
I think Jill Stevens should be the next Sup. With her vast street experience and solid record of accomplishments. Her superior decision making ability makes her a top candidate. Recently she told 800 to declare a Swat incident because they caught someone coming out of a sewer. The guy said he was looking for valuables that get swept into the sewer. So, due to the extremely high threat level presented she made him call swat. Bravo, Bravo, daddy Stevens, needs his ass kicked.
GOD HELP US
Recently retired, started in 1994. Gary McCarthy was the best Superintendent CPD ever had by a country mile. He closed districts and cut the manpower to useless clout baby units. He made the cowards in the Commander role do something. He let districts and patrol officers be the police. Unfortunately CPD has so many lazy cowards in uniform that nothing gets done. EJ went back to the old way of patrol just passing everything off so they can get back to blowing off jobs. McCarthy was out in the field (I give the gym instructor credit for that). CPD needs a leader who has done something in the field in the last 5 years.
Lol.
Best Outsiders CPD ever had O.W.Wilson , he brought CPD into the modern era of Policing. Charlie Beck , he put an end to Merit. He couldn't believe the incompetent Command Staff.Jodi Weiss , he chased out a lot of clouted . They resigned before he could dump them. He also allowed the AR15 , bought SUV for patrol, not a bad guy. Mac , he was out there, he's a street guy . Liked the females, Ballerina screwed him by paying off the bottom feeders that came out of the woodwork. worst one Brown , he was a puppet for Lori lightfoot . Always out of town, not sure who was running CPD. Pick someone in house or former CPD. It helps motivate the troops. It's a tough job.
I heard the fry cook at Harolds Chicken put in for it
Ursitti is as about as useless as they get but she will be the next supt
They should pick Chief Pappagianiou AKA "Big Pappa"
Thats why they call him Big Paaaappa"
