Garry McCarthy
Garry Francis McCarthy was born on May 4, 1959. McCarthy and his two older brothers were raised in the Bronx, New York by his father, a World War II Marine and New York Detective and his mother, a nurse. In 2011, McCarthy was chosen to be Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department by Mayor Rahm Emanuel. His nomination to this position was approved by the Chicago City Council on June 8, 2011. As Chicago Police Superintendent, McCarthy works to reduce violence and crime by using proven crime fighting and prevention strategies that helped reduce crime in other cities including New York and Newark. Among these strategies is the CompStat program, which involves a weekly meeting with District Commanders to discuss how they are addressing crime in their districts and what their plan is to further reduce crime. Superintendent McCarthy stresses the integral relationship between the community and beat officer to work together to report, solve and prevent crimes.Upcoming events
