Eddie Johnson

The Public Safety Committee OK'd a "one-time temporary change" to make Eddie Johnson police chief.

The interim superintendent was in South Shore the night before his confirmation process was to start.

Madison Pruitt was named a life-long police officer by Interim Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson.

“We need somebody like this," said Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th).

The city watchdog is investigating whether certain sergeants had an unfair advantage on the test.

The Chicago Police Department found four guns and arrested 68 people, officials said Friday.

The Public Safety Committee appeared ready to act on confirming Eddie Johnson as police superintendent.

Interim Supt. Eddie Johnson is a "Chicago success story," Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday.

"You're our hero," top cop Eddie Johnson tells Madison Pruitt, who dreamed of becoming an officer.

Interim Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said if there's wrongdoing, "I will deal with it accordingly."

Eddie Johnson, the former Gresham commander, is the right man to be police superintendent, Pfleger said.

KONKOL: Johnson will learn soon enough that Rahm will be involved in every major decision.

Through late March of this year, 775 people have been shot, up from 419 in the same period last year.

New interim Police Supt. Eddie Johnson made the man he replaced, John Escalante, his first deputy.

"No one has anything bad to say" about Eddie Johnson, the mayor's pick, Ald. Nicholas Sposato said.
