Honoring a Hero
Special tribute to
Officer Samuel Jimenez
A look at the life of Samuel Jimenez defines what made this passionate, fun-loving, family man a hero in every sense of the word. Words of praise from those he worked with at the Second District and those who honored him after he made the ultimate sacrifice tell of a dedicated friend and servant who was destined to become a heroic Chicago Police Officer. Additional reports chronicle the outpouring of support and respect from people who came through the blizzard and cold for his visitation and funeral; how Chicago Police Officers never hesitate to run toward danger, as their Brother Sam did on that fateful day; and how a neighborhood of first responders honored one of their own. Plus, some special words of inspiration from the CPD Chaplains to help all officers.
