Interim Superintendent Charlie Beck also said the department will create an office to carry out civil rights reforms and another new counter-terrorism unit. “I was the chief of the second biggest city in America for almost nine years,“ Beck told the Chicago Sun-Times. I’m trying to get things done while I’m here. However, it’s not the only change Back has made. He previously demoted high-ranking members of the department and unveiled a plan to move homicide detectives around the city in the hopes catching up to other major departments that solve a far higher percentage of violent crimes.
