Alderman Walter Burnett, whose 27th Ward includes the United Center where the DNC will be headquartered, said he has confidence that the department's extensive preparation will make for a successful convention. Snelling said officers may not be able to have days off or take vacation during the DNC but is ensuring that leading up to the convention they can have time off if needed.
