CHICAGO, March 27 (UPI) -- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has rejected the three finalists suggested for the city's police superintendent position and instead named veteran officer Eddie Johnson to the role in the interim.
The Chicago Police Board suggested three possible replacements for former Superintendent Garry McCarthy -- Eugene Williams, chief of the Chicago Police Department's bureau of support services; Anne Kirkpatrick, an FBI instructor and former Spokane, Wash., police chief; and Cedric Alexander, the public safety director for DeKalb County, Ga. After interviewing each of them, Emanuel rejected them all.
