Weis's previous experience included 22 years in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Weis graduated from the University of Tampa in 1979.
On March 17, 2009, a few months after the Chicago lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police announced that they would be funding the defense of Cmdr. Jon Burge, the lodge produced a vote of no-confidence in Weis.
A 2012 audit by the Chicago Inspector General determined that the Chicago Police Department had under-counted aggravated assault and aggravated battery victims by 25 percent by not following state guidelines by counting each incident rather than each victim. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy attributed the error to the administration of his predecessor, Jody Weis.
