Chicago Lodge 7 Officer Awards
Police Officer Zohaib Zaib, Star #10988
Police Officer Artur Tomkow, Star #18747
Police Officer Joshua Bielema, Star #19975
On Dec. 8, 2020, the officers responded to a call of “shots fired at and by the police” at the location of 6967 N. Ravenswood Ave. Upon arrival, the responding officers learned that the offender had just fled the scene from an altercation with his ex-girlfriend in which he threatened her with a handgun. Responding officers attempted to stop the offender, at which time he pulled over, exited his vehicle and shot at the officers. The officers returned fire, striking the offender, and placed him into custody.
The responding officers, aware of the department’s policy on preserving the sanctity of life, applied a tourniquet and pressure bandage, as well as performing chest compressions on the jus- tifiably wounded offender. The offender, a convicted felon, was transported to the hospital and was charged with three counts of attempted murder, one count of unlawful restraint and one fugi- tive from justice warrant.
It is with great appreciation that FOP Chicago Lodge 7 pres- ents these officers with the Life Saving Award.
Lifelong Chicagoan representing those who serve and protect since 2008.
