It expires Tuesday.

He's expected to stay on the job until Mayor Daley leaves office in May.

Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel said during the campaign that he would not renew Weis' contract. Weis took the job with Chicago police nearly three years ago after 23 years with the FBI.

Weis notes that crime is at record lows under his leadership.
