Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson announces his retirement on Thursday, just 3 weeks after he was found asleep behind the wheel of his car.

Johnson recalled attending a memorial to slain Chicago police officer with Mayor Lightfoot in September.

“The mayor and I were sitting next to the waterfall, when I sat down in that seat, I leaned over her and whispered over to her ear, 'We got to start talking about an end date for me,'" The superintendent said he made the final decision to retire in early October after a brief family vacation to London when they traveled abroad to see the Chicago Bears.

“It made me feel normal, and I saw them and how they missed me in that kind of setting and that’s pretty much what did it,” he said. For the past 3½ years, Johnson's police force has been fighting — and making some small dents into — Chicago's infamous murder rate.
