Newark Police Chief Garry McCarthy Front-Runner For Chicago Police Job

Newark Chief Would Go Through Chicago Police Academy If Chosen

The Chicago Police Board is recommending that Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel pick McCarthy or one of two Chicago Police insiders with less experience to replace police Supt. Jody Weis, whose contract expired in March.
