“The police department and our community members are not two separate institutions because they can’t be,” Snelling said during Monday’s press conference. “We have to work together by listening and learning from each other…Every member of this city has to be a stakeholder and I’m willing to sit down have a conversation with anybody and everybody within the city to work together to resolve some of the issues that we have, and make this city as safe as we can possibly make it.”

“To our survivors of violent crime, and our victims,” Snelling added, “I hear you. I see you and I stand with you.”

Following a thorough nationwide search that lasted several months, Snelling was selected last month as one of three finalists for the position of police superintendent by Chicago’s newly established Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability. Shon Barnes, the police chief in Madison, Wisconsin, and Angel Novalez, the chief of constitutional policing and reform in Chicago, were the other two candidates.
