Thank you to all of the participants and sponsors of our Annual Golf Outing and Raffle that supports the Active Sergeant Death Benefit.  Well over 250 golfers and guests enjoyed the day and their generosity was again overwhelming.  The outing and raffle are the only funding source for this benefit that immediately pays $5,000 to the family or loved one of a sergeant that passes away.  Without your help, we would be unable to sustain this benefit.  Thanks again for your continued support of this important fund.

Phase II is now underway.  We have room for an additional 60-70 personalized bricks to be added to the memorial.  If you missed the initial ordering, this 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.   Please order your piece of Association history today.  For more information and a printable order form click on CPSA Memorial Brick Program or call 773-376-7272.  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.

We have requested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) avail themselves to  Sergeants at the Association offices to discuss their ongoing investigation of the Department.  We believe that our members may be more comfortable hearing what they have to say, and discussing our concerns, if we could meet away from Department facilities.  This way, Sergeants can speak freely, away from their supervisors and subordinates.   DOJ investigators will be available at the Chicago Police Sergeants’ Association offices on Thursday, April 14th from 0800 – 1100 hours.  The format of this meeting will be more of an open discussion.  Please feel free to stop by the office next Thursday at 1616 W. Pershing Road.

             Listed below are the Associations’ endorsements in the upcoming March primary. These individuals sought the support of the Association and were recommended by our Political Action Committee. Please consider these candidates when going to the polls and inform your families and friends as well.
