Nice Job Officer
- Some people start work early, some people start work late -- and this
week Chicago Police Officer John Wrigley did both at the same time.
The 43-year-old off-duty officer was getting ready for work Wednesday afternoon when he heard the screams of a woman being robbed and ran after the 15-year-old crook, arresting him in the Roscoe Village neighborhood. -
The teen was released on electronic monitoring and is expected in court on Oct. 29 on the charges, Conklin said.
Officer Wrigley, who was shot in the line of duty in 2005, was given multiple awards for valor for the incident, including Officer of the Month, he said.
Nicely done Officer.

Excellent job!
Thank heavens for the officer. Why this criminal was sent home with an ankle bracelet is beyond me. Should have been sent to jail. But fantastic job by Officer Wrigley.
That officer did an outstanding job for a city that truly appreciates their public safety officers. I say bravo, bravo, bravo. Officer, the city wishes you the best.
Location of arrest?
Wow another po without any clout.
With a boat load of medals !
And he can write a arrest report and a case report unlike the puss heads that just got promoted who have to have a remedial class on case reporting and arrest procedures !
Ps here's my contact card. ( gfy )
nicely done ... I remember Soo cleaners from when I was a kid about 35 years ago
Ah, I see no promotion for him. That would have knocked a make believe reverends pick out.
Someone who makes 75k brings pride to the name Wrigley and a bunch of multi-millionaires embarass that same name for six months of the year! The irony!
Why is the little fucker not at 1100 S Hamilton? More, liberal, left wing, "it's not his fault " bullshit.
"Chicago's Finest"
Nice job brother.
Chased down a 15 year old CPS Honor Student at 43? Impressive.
Congratulations, officer.
ECS
Awesome!
Who raised you officer? They should be proud!
Nice. and with that electronic monitoring it will be easier for PO Wrigley to find this guy tonight when he (the bad guy) goes to work.
citizen saying "thanks for all that you do"
take care, all of you
Well, glad to see justice prevailed, and the little dear is back on the streets again.
Somebody oughta give the Circuit Court a' Crook County a Nobel Prize.
Gee, the offender was on home monitoring? I guess that program keeps them off the streets?

Wrigley Field where else. The officer had home field advantage!
Call of a pack of coyotes at the park by Orange and Cornelia trying to take a dog from an owner. Bona Fide? Any real sightings? If yes then it is definitely a safety issue for small dogs and children and we need to get the word out. Sorry to get off topic. OOh rah to the real police.
P.O.s in hood districts make that arrest every day. Officer of the month? If it happens in yuppieville I guess so.
Gotta love Crook County! Just keep letting these ANIMALS go home when they should be in the Audy! Great job Wrigley!
This officer is one hell of a guy. One of the best i've met on the job. Been shot and almost killed early in his career too. If this guy isn't merit worthy, i just can't imagine who his.
J-Dubs, good job brotha. great cop and great guy
But after getting shot and almost killed, making tons of arrests like this one and actually being a nice and personable guy he gets passed over for a merit spot but the sup't driver gets one. What is wrong with this picture. That is why the dept and merit system is so F'ed up.
Wrigs = one class act.
Slightly off topic 011 info.
It seems 011 2nd watch keeps experiencing more and more people bidding out. Over the last few months we lost 2 great sgts and now rumor has it several experienced officer's put in their Par forms to get away from the 2nd watch issue. I cant blame them one bit for leaving what used to be a great watch up until a few years ago.
A.K. you will be sorely missed by all. Enjoy your new home, at least it has nice restaurants to eat and the scenery is much better,and for that matter so are the Bosses.

They save that for all the self promoters in the units, the ones who you meet and tell you how great they are within the first 5 minutes.
This Officer is not like those hacks - he is the police but most of all, he is modest and would never grandstand or self promote.
Amazing how many "real police" who have sold their soul to be on a phone call. It is great to see when there are still honorable people on this job.
011 2nd watch is such a shit place to be with that asshat J.A.
Ah.....Johnny Boy. You ALWAYS have been the po-leese. Now if only I could have gotten you to wear that goddamn baseball cap facing FORWARD!
John was the police at another agency before CPD. His efforts were wasted there and he made the step up (well, kind of) and joined the CPD. Just remember, John... you serve a mayor that hates your guts because you are the real deal and a Superintendent who thinks you're a joke because you weren't a cop in New Yawk.
God has been good to you and saw that you have gone home after every tour of duty. As aggressive as you are, you put yourself in the line of fire because of what you know in your policeman's heart to be the right thing.
Please be careful and watch your back. God knows, Car 1 and Car 3 DON'T and WON'T!!
You know who.
Hey 12;50 Guys in the hood make that arrest every day............did you read the article? or just jealous that someone got public credit for a great arrrest.....off duty near his home.........I doubt if guys in the hood do that

Dueche bag, he didn't get officer of the month for this arrest. Gosh you are stupid. How could he get officer of the month the day after the incident. He got that award from a different incident. I'm always amazed of the amount of stupid people on this job.
Nobodys merit worthy. Nofuckingbody. signed, GOD
They will find something wrong with the way he handled it, get 5days. To the guys /girls in blue this is real police work, very proud of the officer.
Hey, P.O. in the hood district. May you spend your entire sorry career in a "hood district" serving and protecting the people that are so deserving. But you'll always be the "real police", right? Nice job, Officer Wrigley.
Great job Officer Wrigley. The criminal should have been kept in jail. Fifteen and a violent offender already, sure his mama is proud.

I spotted two coyotes on Thatcher the other night in River Forest. They were crossing the street from the residential area to go back to the forest preserve. With no local predators, you should assume they are in all the surrounding forest preserves. The pair I spotted appeared to be well fed and healthy, not scrawny or emaciated.
A local news story from Wheaton reported that a coyote easily jumped over a 5' fence to attack two small dogs.
A buddy of mine who lives in a semi-rural area never walks her small dog without carrying a softball bat. It's good for four and two legged predators.
Hey mr "in the hood" asshole. John has done more police work in his career than 90 0/0 of the cops on this job. He did this without a radio, backup, a bulletproof vest, or a partner. Would you even make an attempt to stop this asshole? I think not ! Signed another west side warrior
I worked with John in 010 when he was shot, a terrific guy, second generation policeman. I also had the pleasure of meeting his parents the night he was shot. The apple never falls far from the tree. This city is lucky to have guys like John on the job. This wasn't his first good pinch and it won't be his last.
