Cops in the Community
Winter took over Halloween by dropping an unexpected big snow before the calendar turned to November, but that didn’t stop Chicago Police Officers around the city from having a little fun with residents. The abruptly changing weath- er didn’t deter officers from connecting and celebrating with the community in a variety of ways — it just meant they stayed indoors to do it.
The second annual Youth Community Leaders Awards dinner in November packed the Hyatt Regency ballroom with outstanding young citizens and many of their police officer mentors. The night featured a recognition ceremony, speakers such as former Chicago Bear Israel Idonije, photo ops and even a little dancing.
The Polaris Charter Academy’s Kindergarten Crew invited the 11th District to talk about how police officers are community helpers who work hard to keep people safe. The students showed themselves to be inquisitive and excited to have such an important guest pay them a visit.
