COVER STORY
PAGE 33
Youth Movement
Chicago Police Officers play chess with kids every day. They take them fishing and to Bears and Bulls games. They mentor youth advisory councils that communicate to the districts what kids need to believe and achieve. They teach them about the pride of keeping their neighborhoods clean and how to pick a career. They believe that children are truly the future, and that’s why Chicago Police Officers go all-out every day for the city’s kids. In this special report, officers share why they all-in on the city’s young people and why it matters so much.
