Chicago Police Superintendent to Visit Oakton Community College


Terry Hillard, superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, will be a guest speaker in Jim O'Shea's Criminology class at Oakton Community College on Dec. 4 at 1 p.m. Arranged by students in the class for extra credit, Hillard will discuss his career and current concerns in law enforcement such as terrorism, drugs, and hate crimes.

"Students like to hear what it's like to be in the law enforcement field, and from an administrative standpoint, Hillard's experience should be interesting," said O'Shea.

Hillard was appointed superintendent of police in 1998. Prior to his appointment he was chief of detectives, where he established a Domestic Violence Program to identify those who are most at risk. He also served as deputy chief of patrol in Area 2, where he helped set up the Enhanced Drug and Gang Enforcement Program, and commander of the 6th District.
