Chicago Police Sergeants Memorial

Admin / Uncategorized /

The Chicago Police Sergeants’ Association will be constructing a memorial to honor the men and women who gave their lives in the performance of their duties as a Chicago Police Sergeant. Each deceased sergeant will be memorialized on a brick paver. These memorial bricks will be surrounded by additional bricks that can be purchased and personalized. Now is your opportunity to honor a friend, a career, a family, or anything that you choose to memorialize in this tribute to our fallen Sergeants. The space for the memorial is limited, so only 340 bricks will be available. Please order your piece of Association history today. As soon as we receive the orders for 340 bricks, construction of the memorial can begin. Click here for the on-line order form.

Thank you for considering your donation to honor the men and women of the Association who gave their lives in service to the City of Chicago. We will never forget their sacrifice.

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.
