CONTENTS
Tattoos – A Second Look
The cover of the April
Lodge 7 Magazine
features a tattoo
described as a “bird's
eye view of the
National FOP Memorial
in Washington, D.C.”
This tattoo rests on the
elbow of a Chicago
Police Officer. The
photo was partially
blocked by the address label, so we have it here for you to take a second look.

Keeping the Faith
For more than 35 years, the Chicago Police Chaplains Ministry has been providing pastoral care and crisis management for CPD Officers. The Chaplains are on the streets, at roll calls and at nearly every Department and Lodge 7 event as part of their duty to be their brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. Ride along with the Chicago Police Chaplains to find out how they are a source of strength at a time when cops need it most.
The Task at Hand
President Angelo and other Lodge 7 leaders offer interpretation and commentary on the Police Accountability Task Force Study, including what the study failed to take into consideration and what should have been
done better.
