The Chicago Police Department and Gold Star Family members supported the families of fallen Officer Ella French and her partners Officer Carlos Yanez and Detective Josh Blas in court today, where the offender convicted in this case was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The #chicagopolice Department protected a demonstration at Union Park yesterday afternoon. Individuals gathered in the park for a peaceful rally as organizers and CPD worked together to provide a safe area for individuals to express their First Amendment rights.

The #ChicagoPolice Department is ready for the Democratic National Convention, which begins tomorrow. Our officers will be securing both convention areas and every community citywide.

Six year old Axel is battling kidney disease and his one wish is to be a police officer for a day. Sunday Axel got that wish. He started his day by getting sworn in as honorary Officer Axel and visited with the 1st District, Motorcycle Unit, Helicopter Unit and Marine Unit. Thank you to Axel & his family for letting CPD be part of your special day! We also want to thank @WishIllinois for giving hope to children fighting critical illnesses.

Celebrating Juneteenth today is an opportunity to honor the past, recognize the progress made, and commit to continuing the work toward equality and justice for all.

The #ChicagoPolice Department Mounted Unit welcomed a new horse, French, named after our fallen hero Ella Grace French. Naming the horses after our fallen officers is a @CPDMountedUnit tradition that carries on the legacies of those we have lost in service to this city.

The success of the @WCSmokeout this weekend was due in part to the dedicated #ChicagoPolice officers who provided safety and security for all attendees. Chicago proudly welcomed music & food lovers from all over the world for this 4-day festival located in the heart of the city.

Our officers walk into work every day ready to protect the people of Chicago. But they're also ready off-duty. Officer Sylvia Sanchez was at a local flea market when a fellow patron began having a medical emergency. She sprang to action and performed CPR until @CFDMedia arrived.
