After nearly four years, Chicago finally has a new permanent U.S. marshal.
The U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of former Oak Park police Chief LaDon Reynolds as the next U.S. marshal for the Northern District of Illinois, one of the top federal law enforcement posts in the city.U.S. District Chief Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer said Thursday she met with Reynolds recently and found him to be a “consummate professional” with an even keel necessary for the high-profile job.
Reynolds was selected more than two months ago after a bipartisan screening committee headed by former U.S. District Judge David Coar made the recommendation to Illinois Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth. “Try to follow that logic, if you will,” Durbin said at the time. “ is so committed to law enforcement, he is so committed to U.S. Marshals, he won’t let us appoint people to fill [U.S. Marshal] vacancies.”
Reynolds served since 2019 as the chief of police for the Oak Park Police Department before stepping down earlier this month. His began his law enforcement career in the near west suburb in 1994 rising to detective commander in 2010 and deputy police chief in 2017.
