The 2026 Golf Outing will be on 10 August 2026 at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park.

The Retiree/Corned Beef Dinner will be held on Tuesday, 17 Feb 2026 at 6 pm at St Ignatius.

The union filed a grievance regarding active Member’s health insurance cost for the time period of January 2020 to January 2024. It was a “Me-Too” with FOP 7. FOP’s increase was less than ours. The grievance went to arbitration before Arbitrator Brennwald. Arb Brennwald found in our favor and awarded a “refund” of the overpayment amounts. The City issued the “refund” to Active Members last Friday. And I am happy to say, Retirees who were active and paying for their health care should have received their checks in the mail or will soon be receiving them. If you feel you should have received a check but have not, please give the office a call. But again, this only applies if you were active and paying for health care between January 2020 to January 2024.

Thank you to all the sponsors of our 2025 Annual Death Benefit Golf Outing. Without the generosity of these great sponsors, our outing would never be successful. Please remember to look to the sponsors if you should ever need any of the services they provide. Thank you again to our sponsors!

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Petar Brković, beloved husband, father, son, brother, cousin and loyal friend. Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Petar devoted his life to serving and protecting his community with unwavering integrity, courage, and compassion. Memory eternal. A dedicated member of the Chicago Police Department for 27 years, Petar rose through the ranks to become a highly respected and decorated sergeant. His commitment to justice and public service left a lasting mark not only on his colleagues but also on the countless lives he touched throughout his career. From a young age, Petar had a deep love for soccer, a game that reflected his energy, focus, and team spirit. He also enjoyed a good cigar, traveling to new places, and spending time with those closest to his heart. Known for his loyalty and fierce protectiveness, Petar was a steadfast presence in the lives of those he loved. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ivette, and their cherished daughters, Leksia, Mirjana, and Natalija. He will also be deeply missed by his loving parents, Milosava (née Kovačević) and Žarko, his brother Zoran, Kumovi, dear friends, and respected colleagues. Petar’s memory will live on through the lives he touched and the legacy he leaves behind – a life of honor, service, and love. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 p.m. at the Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, 5701 N Redwood Drive, Chicago, IL 60631.
