CHICAGO — John Catanzara, head of the Chicago police union, announced he is taking a leave of absence from his role as vice president of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police.
Catanzara said he made the decision himself but declined to provide specifics, describing the situation as a “political witch hunt” by those who want his seat.
Records reviewed by WGN Investigates indicate that another member of the state lodge’s board made unspecified allegations against Catanzara.
He will continue to serve as head of the union representing rank-and-file Chicago police officers.
