[Alexandria, VA] Today, Cerelyn J. Davis, President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), released the following statement supporting Superintendent Eddie Johnson of the Chicago Police Department and his work in law enforcement:

"Since his appointment in 2016, Superintendent Johnson has reinforced his role as a leader in law enforcement by fighting tirelessly to reduce crime in his hometown of Chicago and place the needs of the people and communities he serves first. Like Mayor Lori Lightfoot, we have a great amount of confidence in Superintendent Johnson's work and decision-making, and recognize the value he has brought to our Chicago Metropolitan Chapter after more than three decades in law enforcement." 

"As an organization that is deeply committed to improving police-community relations, we stand by Superintendent Johnson's statement that as law enforcement officers, our job is to be the voice for the voiceless and ambassadors to the communities that we serve."
