With Ramsey out, Chicago still searching for police chief
Now that Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey has decided he’s staying put, his home town of Chicago is still searching for its next police superintendent.

The Sun-Times profiled all three today, as a follow-up to an article calling Ramsey the “best of both worlds” in terms of whether the city should hire and insider or outsider.
