Former Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy is being appointed interim chief of police in southwest suburban Willow Springs.
The appointment will be announced at a news conference Thursday morning at the Willow Springs Village Hall, according to an email sent by the village on Wednesday. The village has about 5,800 people.
McCarthy was CPD superintendent from 2011 to 2015 while Rahm Emanuel was mayor. Emanuel fired him after the delayed release of a video showing then-Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. The former police chief of Willow Springs, Jim Ritz, resigned, creating the vacancy, a spokesman said.
“The residents of Willow Springs support our Police Department and we value living in a safe community,” Willow Springs Mayor Melissa Neddermeyer said in the emailed statement. “We welcome Garry McCarthy as the Chief of Police for Willow Springs. We are confident in his leadership to oversee our police operations because he is an experienced and well-trained professional.”
McCarthy declined to comment on his new job, saying he’d rather not get ahead of the mayor’s announcement on Thursday.of Chicago in 2019, hoping to unseat Emanuel. After Emanuel decided not to seek a third term, McCarthy stayed in the race and finished 10th in the primary.
