John Heiderscheidt attends Economic Club of Chicago’s Event in Support of CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling spoke at the Economic Club of Chicago’s most recent event. Snelling addressed concerns with the City’s crime rates and the upcoming Democratic National Convention taking place in Chicago in August. Snelling says that as the superintendent of the CPD his main goal is keeping the City and citizens of Chicago at ease, as well as providing necessary training for Chicago police officers.

Superintendent Snelling has made it very clear that the Chicago Police Department is preparing for the Democratic National Convention. “When it comes to the Democratic National Convention, I want everybody to rest assured that we are working to make sure the city is safe and we have the best convention that we can possibly have”, he said.

In his speech, Snelling pointed out that the City is making great strides in fighting crimes. He pointed out that vehicle thefts are down 50%, and robberies are down 38%, compared to where they were last year at this time.

John Heiderscheidt expressed his support for Snelling saying, “I was pleased to hear Superintendent Snelling’s remarks. The City has a long way to go, but I believe his heart is in the right place, and that he cares for the well-being of Chicago residents.” 

Larry Snelling was appointed Superintendent of Chicago Police Department in September 2023. He has over 30 years of experience working with the Chicago Police Department. Snelling started out as a police officer in the community of Englewood in 1992.

Chicago’s Migrant Crisis

Chicago’s migrant crisis is sprawling in to the suburbs. Since August 2022, over 25,000 migrants have been transported from Texas to Chicago by bus. Chicago is a “sanctuary city” for migrants. As a large number of migrants continue coming into the city and now the suburbs, city officials are scrambling to find shelter and assistance for them.

Suburbs such as Woodstock and Hinsdale have begun taking matters into their own hands by implementing ordinances to prevent buses from dropping migrants off unannounced in their communities. The winter weather is posing a great challenge to the city and suburbs as shelters are becoming overcrowded.    

Attorney John W. Heiderscheidt says, “the migrant crisis will continue to spiral at unsustainable rates until the City Council or the Mayor figure out how to coordinate with DHS to stop southern border states from bussing migrants indiscriminately across the country. Our current policies are unfair to migrants and tax-paying residents alike. Asylum seekers and long-time community residents each deserve solutions that comport with due process.”

​In recent days, Governor Pritzker has called on the US government for help with the overflow of migrants in the city and suburbs.
