2020 Golf Outing

Admin / Uncategorized /

Unfortunately due to the current COVID situation and restrictions that are in place the Board has voted to cancel this year’s golf outing. This decision did not come lightly, it was only after careful review and cost analysis. We had a very limited interest with only 44 participants signed up as of 22 June. Also due to the COVID pandemic many of our sponsors had to close their doors for business or in the very least had to scale back tremendously. We could not in good conscious ask the businesses to donate to, or sponsor the outing when they themselves need help to provide for themselves and their employees. Additionally the course had restrictions in place that they have to follow which in turn we would have to comply with. There would be no dinner and no shotgun start and most would have had to walk and use pull carts, which the course had a limited amount of. I apologize to all who love coming to the outing and seeing and conversing with old workmates. We look forward to seeing you all at the 2021 Golf Outing which we hope will be bigger and better than ever. Please stay safe and have a great summer.

About the C.P.S.A.

The Chicago Police Sergeants’ Association (C.P.S.A.) was established on September 6, 1907. The Association became incorporated on March 3, 1978 and was organized for the purpose of forming an association comprised of men and women who were employed by the Department of Police, City of Chicago and who hold or have held the rank of Sergeant. The goal of the corporation was, at that time, to through the united effort of the members, to promote the best possible working conditions for the members of the association (...“Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the corporation to act as a union.”).

In 1998 the C.P.S.A., became a member of the Police Benevolent & Protective Association (PB & PA of Illinois). As the CPSA, the association still actively maintains a social and fraternal organizational structure. As Unit156A of the PBPA, Illinois, the Chicago Sergeants have expanded their horizons and have become not only a fraternal organization but a labor union created to protect the rights of its’ members and to advance their best interests and concerns through the bargaining process.
