want to know why the Chicago Police Department's Chief of Patrol Brian McDermott was apparently not interviewed in person by a group screening candidates for the superintendent's job.
The leader of the screening group insists their process is fair and will be transparent when completed. The 19 City Council members who signed the letter wrote of their deep "disappointment" and "dismay" at Chief McDermott's treatment. "Chief McDermott was one of my district commanders, and I mean would do an excellent job. Any time I called him, he was there. And so I had to wonder why someone who's third in command didn't get an interview," said Ald. David Moore of the 17th Ward.
"I was quite surprised by that, just given his record, his rank within the police force, and how well respected he is," said Ald. Nicole Lee of the 11th Ward.
