Snelling, who previously served as chief of the Chicago Police Department&#8217;s Counterterrorism division,\u200b was officially sworn in at a City Hall ceremony following a 48-0 vote by the \u2063aldermen.<\/p>\n<h3>Government Shutdown: How Your Social Security \u2063Payments Will Be Affected<\/h3>\n<p>Mayor Brandon Johnson handpicked Snelling from a pool\u200d of three finalists on August 13. With over three decades of experience in\u200c the CPD and \u2063a background in constitutional policing, Snelling is well-equipped for the role. He even played a key role in designing \u2064the city&#8217;s use-of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicagos-next-top-cop-three-finalists-selected-for-police-superintendent-head-to-brandon-johnsons-desk\/\" title=\"Three finalists for Chicago's police superintendent position await Brandon Johnson's decision.\">-force training model<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Snelling&#8217;s appointment aligns with Mayor \u2062Johnson&#8217;s vision to enhance public safety, boost officer\u2062 morale, and rebuild community relations. Since taking office \u2064in May, the\u200b mayor has championed a comprehensive approach to\u2063 public safety, supported by other Democratic mayors and\u200c law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs we\u2019ve all said repeatedly, if you think that the only way we can get to a better, \u200dstronger, safer\u200c Chicago is with policing alone, you are \u2064attempting\u2062 to take us in \u2064the wrong direction,\u201d Johnson emphasized after Snelling&#8217;s confirmation. \u201cThis city will not tolerate it. We won\u2019t accept it. \u2026 No matter who you are and where \u200byou are in this city, you\u200b deserve to not just feel safe, but\u200b to\u2063 be safe.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In September,\u2063 Snelling engaged with the public, addressing concerns about the city&#8217;s safety challenges. He emphasized the importance of focusing\u2062 on the youth and their journey towards \u200dviolence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve forgotten\u200d about our victims and we\u2019ve forgotten about our children,\u201d Snelling passionately expressed. \u201cOur children have become victims, \u200band not just victims of crime, but victims of being ignored. And until we step up and we start looking out\u200c for our children in these communities, they grow up to become the next statistic.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Snelling urged the city to prioritize the well-being\u2064 of children, emphasizing that blaming young shooters is not the solution. He stressed the need to examine the failures that led \u200cto \u200ctheir actions.<\/p>\n<p>Snelling \u2063is taking charge of a city grappling with a surge in violent crime. According to city data, there have been 471 homicides since September\u2063 24, a 15% decrease from the same period in 2022. However, Chicago is experiencing a significant rise in robberies and car thefts, a trend exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Just a day before Snelling&#8217;s\u2064 confirmation, the city\u200c witnessed four fatal shootings within a span of eight hours, \u200das reported by CPD data. The CPD is currently in &#8220;full\u2064 compliance&#8221; with less than 5% of its 552 consent decree requirements, and its Bureau of Internal Affairs has initiated over 11,000 \u2063investigations into allegations of misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>Snelling will be succeeding former Superintendent David\u200d Brown, who stepped down after Mayor Lori Lightfoot&#8217;s\u200c unsuccessful reelection \u200cbid.
