“The 50th Ward is the most diverse and wonderful neighborhood in the City of Chicago. There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling just announced that he will be retiring on July 15. This is a tremendous loss for our city. Superintendent Snelling oversaw a historic drop in crime in Chicago and has been an outstanding partner in our shared commitment to keeping our community safe.
Superintendent Snelling’s leadership, professionalism, and dedication to public safety have made a real difference across our city, and I am especially grateful for his support of the 50th Ward and its residents.
I want to thank Superintendent Snelling for his service and wish him all the best in his retirement. He will be greatly missed, and I know his legacy of leadership will have a lasting impact on the Chicago Police Department and the people of Chicago. ... See MoreSee Less
