Police Week Begins
- Four fallen Chicago Police Department officers were honored in Washington, D.C. Sunday as National Police Week begins.
CPD Commander Paul Bauer and Officers Samuel Jimenez, Eduardo Marmolejo and Conrad Gary all died in the line of duty in 2018.
The families of the fallen officers can now see the names of their loved ones on the National Police Officers Memorial wall.
Several events were held for the families to commemorate the lives of the officers, including a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
If you could, take time out of your week to remember the fallen in your own way.

Please don’t be one of the strokes who walks around all week with your star exposed around your neck.. it’s embarrassing for us all.
And Eddie again proves how srupid he is. Standing in pouring rsin, wrecking his dress blues as he was to stupid or lazy to pack a raon coat.
Just before I came on this job Kilroy and Hauser were shot and killed while on duty in 025. It made me rethink if this is what I really wanted to do. I decided to take the job and it was the best decision I made. The chicago police department will live forever. The officers who made the ultimate sacrifice will be remembered forever.
Thanks to all our members that were able to spend the time and expense to attend the National Memorial in Washington DC on behalf of our fallen.
Keep all of our brothers and sisters in blue in your prayers.
We will, "Never Forget"
These officers and their famalies are remembered each day in this home as are all our 1st responders and all military. Bless each and everyone and thank you.
RIP Brothers
Prayers and thoughts are with and for you, always.
Officers Kilroy and Hauser killed 29 years ago today.
Seems like yesterday.
RIP
thanks to all. tough gig, please be careful.
I am not a Police Officer, but I support you brave men and women whole heartedly. Thanks for everything you do to try to make this crappy city just a little bit less crappy. You are fought at every corner and turn, by the social miscreants and unfortunately by the totally unqualified states attorney and the Court System. I don't know how you can get up the motivation to come to work every day, but you do. I thank you for your courage and commitment to doing what is right. Stay safe and keep your heads on a swivel.

G-d Bless the four fallen officers. They now sit on high in their father's arms.....
Never forget.

It was raining during Jimenez’s funeral and countless other funerals officers attended. It’s Police Week, no time to worry about some dress blue uniform that can be found in abundance at any uniform store. Special Ed is a major buffoon, no doubt, but at least he’s honoring the nation’s fallen officers. So stop posting like a tard it’s not helping your cause to bash another tard.
To all my Blue Brothers and Sisters. Stay Safe.
We will never forget the unselfish sacrifices made by the men and women of the Department. This is a special week for us and those that value our efforts to serve and protect the citizens of Chicago. Protecting them from murder and mayhem.
Now we wait and watch as to who are our supporters and who are our detractors. No lip service and phony words of concern. We see through Rahm the serial liar. Lorie where do you stand? Are you hollow and empty like Rahm or will you speak and support your Police Department .
Trust must be earned. We wait and watch.
Like or dislike President Trump, it is a nice gesture to illuminate The White House in blue for Police Week.
Prayers they are the last 4 on the wall. Never want to see anyone’s name on that wall again.
God bless all of you and stay fetal.
For the Exempts and those with clout it was an all expense paid vacation. Who do you think was in all those unmarked vehicles leaving headquarters.
One who has been there twice and paid his way both times.
God Bless Officer Michael Ceriale RIP
And Eddie again proves his stupidity. Standing in pouring rain, wrecking his dress blues as he was too stupid or lazy to pack a rain coat.

I observed it, too. An unadorned, simple, black umbrella, a rain cover for his police hat and a proper fitting, black, uniform raincoat would have made him look much more together and a bit smarter. Wearing the uniform long coat under a raincoat would have made his attire totally proper. I think lieutenant's and above have a long coat as part of their official uniform, but you mentioned him being too stupid or too lazy to have proper attire for the weather conditions. There could be another reason. How about just plain old too cheap? I mean, he only makes what, over $200K a year including a car and benefits. He might figure it would be a waste of money to buy a rain cover, long coat and a raincoat. Come September, he most likely will no longer need them for work, but the umbrella could come in handy while living as a civilian.

Sunday night, May 13, 1990--29 years ago tonight.
A night I'll never forget. When I found Greg Hauser and Ray Kilroy mortally wounded in that garage and called a "10-1 with two officers down".
I had the pleasure of meeting Conrad Gary's wife and baby recently at a St Pats event. I did not know who she was and when she told me it was a bit awkward at first but she handled it well. She is such a delightful young lady and their child is beautiful. My heart aches for them and their family. I will always keep them and the other families in my prayers!
Eighteen police officers killed, shot to death in 19 weeks in 2019. God bless the officers who gave their lives and the families of the offers. And, God bless those that go out and do the job every day in spite of everything.

I am here in Washington and can honestly say that the majority of officers are wearing their stars and shields around their necks. Exhibits pride in your profession.

Shoot out on Lill Street RIP Richie Clark

Thank you! The motivation is quite simple......it is for people like you that we do the job! God Bless!
Obama missed it all but one year.
My first day on street was 29 years ago today. Kilroy and Hauser were killed that day and it made me rethink what i wanted to do also. Thought it was a signal from somewhere that this profession was not for me. I stayed all these years and i am glad i did. God bless Trump and his support for law enforcement
I would like to mention all the Officers who took their own life. On duty or not. Let's not forget about them too. To all officers who even for a moment thought it may be the only solution, remember: We need you. Your work makes sense. We feel safe knowing you are working out there. Regardless of what some think or say.
Thank you..
Went to candlelight vigil in DC today. Beautiful, sad, humbling. Never forget.

Great post RIP brothers!
Have 9.5 or 4.75 shown their face in DC for National Police Week? They both seem to be familiar with the location.
I have been to Police week 3 times and it is a humbling experience to attend the candlelight vigil and mass. A well worth trip.
If you have ever been to Washington DC for the memorial you would know umbrella's are not allowed at the memorial event at the Capital Building
Congratulations to the Chicago Police Department Honor
Guard for winning the Chief Judges Award at the National Honor Competition
today. Your heartfelt program honoring our fallen was truly awe inspiring.
Congratulations to Lt. Jake Alderdan, P.O. Elvis Turcinovic, and P.O. Bernardo Quijano on being honored Sunday night at the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) Top Cops award for the Mercy Hospital incident.
R.I.P. Paul Bauer, Sam Jimenez, Eduardo Marmolejo, and Conrad Gary.
I served in combat in Vietnam before joining the CPD. My point is I have been involved in many deadly situations both in Nam and here.
I was working on Zone 10 and responded when the 2 officers were murdered in the garage behind Nordica. May they RIP.
I could not believe how calm the 25th District sgt. spoke when he came on the air with the emergency 10-1 with 2 officers shot dead. Many, maybe even most officers would be shouting and screaming with a garbled radio transmission. He asked for all notifications including the Supt., the chaplain and the K9 dogs as if his blood was ice water .
God bless the CPD. Never underestimate a disturbance call.
Speaking about wearing the star around your neck, I’m here in Washington for the Memorial and everyone’s doing it. Which I don’t mind provided you are wearing it at some Police related function. But I see guys miles away from the events doing things not connected to the Memorial and they have their stars out on display around their necks. As an example, I’m sitting in an outdoor cafe when I see a copper and his wife/girlfriend riding a scooter with the star on a chain around his neck. Talk about a nerd.
During this police week, and today, National peace officers memorial day, we thank you CPD and all LE everywhere. God bless all the fallen police officers.
