End Of Watch 07 August 2021

Let us never forget the name of Officer Ella French. Let us never forget her dedication and service or the professionalism she displaced. Ella’s name will be etched into the Memorial Wall just as it should be etched into each one of us. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Please take comfort in each other as we mourn the loss of one of our own.  Thank you Officer Ella French for everything you have given in your far too short time in this world.

Superintendent David Brown and all Chicago Police Department Employees,

I am reaching out to you today to offer my Condolences on the loss of Officer Ella French.
Words cannot describe the pain and sorrow felt when we lose a brother or a sister in our law enforcement family.  It is never easy and we must never forget the sacrifices that are made by heroes like Officer French.

Officers throughout the State of Illinois are going out every day to protect their communities and are facing more and more violent attacks against them.  These unnecessary attacks on our law enforcement officers must stop!  I know that you and your officers are facing tough and difficult situations multiple times each shift. I pray that the violence and attacks on our men and women in uniform will come to an end very soon.

It is also my understanding that you have another officer in the hospital fighting for his life as a result of this same incident. May god bless him and look over him for a full recovery.

On behalf of myself and the entire executive board of the Police Benevolent and Protective Association of Illinois, please accept our prayers and our condolences.  I will continue to pray for the families of those affected and for the entire Chicago Police Department family.

Sincerely,

Todd Keil

President,

Police Benevolent and Protective Association of Illinois
