COVER STORY
PAGE 29
Ride along with Santa
Get on board with Operation Santa and see how this extravaganza has become
a life-changing experience for families of Chicago Police Officers. And for Chicago Police Officers. This view from inside the caravan that visited more than 25 families this year shows how the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation has made Opera- tion Santa one of the signature moments of the holiday season, and lets family members know that fallen, injured and deployed officers will always be honored and remembered. This special report also looks at the Chicago Police Officers who love being part of the event.
