ON THE COVER

President Kevin Graham, First Vice President Pat Murray and members of the Lodge 7 leadership team are making weekly visits to roll calls in districts throughout the city to update members about the work that the FOP is doing on their behalf and, more importantly, answer questions and listen to their concerns. A ride-along with the Lodge to the 9th District in June spotlights the matters that are presently most important to Chicago Police Officers.
