Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson Announces Retirement Amid Investigation

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson officially announced his retirement Thursday.

Johnson made the announcement at CPD headquarters flanked by family members and Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

"It is time for someone else to pin these four stars to their shoulders," Johnson said. "These stars can sometimes feel like carrying the weight of the world and I'm confident I leave CPD in a better place than when I became superintendent." []
