COVER STORY
PAGE 30
Chicago Police Officers seem to go above and beyond the call of duty to give the Department’s community policing program powerful impact. But really, officers have embraced community policing as part of their duty. There are activities and inter- actions taking place every day in the city between the police and citizens that build the trust and awareness to make communities safer and more vital.
