Great Job Officers
- Two Chicago police officers were hailed as heroes on Thursday, credited with saving a child from a burning car last week. Officers Ramon Curet and Raul Sandoval were working the night shift in the 15th District last Friday, when they got a call for a crash in the Austin neighborhood.
Police said a Range Rover was heading west on Washington Boulevard around 3:10 a.m. on Friday when it struck a Toyota sedan that was headed north on Cicero Avenue. The Toyota flipped onto its roof, and caught fire.
Two adults and three children –ages 10, 11, and 12 – were inside. Everyone was able to get out, except for one boy who was stuck in the backseat. Officers Curet and Sandoval arrived a short time later. “There’s people around the car, saying that there’s someone still inside,” Sandoval said. Curet said Sandoval went into the car to cut the child’s seatbelt and get him out of the burning wreck.
Fantastic job Officers.

......and years from now, after questions are raised about exactly when injuries to the child were sustained, a lawsuit will be filed and the inevitable punitive damages will be awarded.
Driving your toddlers around at 310am seems pretty normal.
Good job, guys.
Good job boys!
Thank You Officers !
Nice work. Makse some of the BS less meaningful,
Is it me, or does owning a Range Rover grant license to drive like an asshole?
Outstanding! Good job.
Almost sounds like a Range Rover ad.
I just wonder if sales spike after this type of report.
Great job guys. Hope that bought some street creds Austin.
2 great Officers and humble guys. Proud to work with you two.
Siri, my car is on fire. Send Help.
Fabulous Thank you brave and fearless officers.
The big question: what were 3 little ones doing in a car at 3 am?
God bless our blue!
Raul & Ramon rockin' those CPD turtlenecks.
How long before Beck shows attired like Howard Hunter?
my sister in law's in laws lost a young boy in an airplane emergency lake putdown. seat belt issue. no one had a knife.

great job.

God was with both of you when you saved that boy's life. Unfortunately I wasn't as blessed and witnessed two teenagers die before my eyes in a similar situation, something you regret and never forget as a first responder...
Nice job gentlemen. If course, if they ride around at 3 am with chronological only adults in the ghetto, you may just be delaying the inevitable.
To 1.18am—what’s the difference between a Range Rover and a Porcupine? With a Porcupine, the pricks are on the outside
And why were three children out in a car at 3:10 am????
Very much off topic. Retired officer here, having to renew FOID. Tried the website that is almost impossible to follow. Tried well over twenty times to ask for paper application never able to reach a live person. Anyone else having same difficulty. It's almost as if they are trying to discourage applications.
No judgement here, but I cannot remember a single time during my youth when my parents had me or my brothers in a vehicle at 3am. Maybe there was a 1am arrival when we were coming back from a family gathering. And I know you cannot control which dumb fuck is going to drive their SUV into the side of the car carrying your family. Okay, lots of judgement. Good job with the quick rescue, officers.
Despite everything happening around them and to them, despite a national disgrace as a Superintendent and a mayor that openly hates law enforcement, despite a CCSA who should herself be in prison for outrageous malfeasance in office, and despite a media that lies in an organized attempt to destroy society, these officers went into a neighborhood full of people that irrationally hate them and saved a life.
Well done Officers.
I wonder if that Range Rover was carjacked? Inquiring minds gots to know!
Rutt Roe!! Range Rover flipped over!!
Great job by responding officers!
Where were all the SJW's to help whenyou need them???
Woah. Those kids were gonna have a tough time getting through classes today! Good job officers.
Kudos to the Brave officers. And Wth are three little kids doing out at 3am? Nice parenting.
Great story, tanks for sharing!! Way to brothers!! True hero’s!!
I wonder if the parents were helping junior on his early morning paper route...

Give it a break. The guy did a great job, no way will a lawyer ask or get punitive damages from this officer

"Dave Savini, where are you? Dave....DAVE!!!"
Two years ago there was 2 officers from 015 who saved 4 people from burning car and they did not get anything. Just saying
Great job, but where is someone going at 310 am with their children in the car?
Right place.
Right time.
Best response given the circumstances...
THAT THERE...
Is good Policing.
Bravo and well done, Officers.
As a 24 yr member of the CFD I know that what these guys did is not always something that is easy to do.
So I would like to Congratulate both of them and let them know that it was a job well done.
I remember watching an episode of Leave it to Beaver and Ward and June were fucked up at 3 in the morning with Wally and Beaver in the back seat of the Chrysler. Good Times.♠️
3am munchie time for parents.chips and Nemo cakes after a night smoking that almost legal weed.
Awesome job... though if my kid was caught in that car I wouldn't be waiting for the police to arrive before getting him out.

I’ve got your answer. Exact thing happened to me. Your wasting your time calling their phone number. It’s not being answered or manned. As for a paper application they stopped that over a year ago. I had an application on my computer, filled it out and mailed it in Was returned saying they are no longer accepting paper application. The only way to apply is online and one good thing for you because it sounds like you have problems with a computer is they didn’t require uploading a recent pic. Think they used previous one. Sorry but that’s the only way.
You will get the answering machine for ever and I thought I could sneak in paper application. Good luck and enjoy retirement
When you don't have to go to work next day every night is Friday or Saturday night. Party hardy and what the hell break the kids into the party life. Ghetto Values first hand. Was driver sober?
Like a lawyer has any morals? Wake up snowflake. Lawyers are snakes looking for their next meal.
They will not wait years to file that suit.
'Parents' w Chicago values need the POleeeeeces and a ambolaaance to protect they kids from they 'parents' at 3AM
Police Officers should get way more recognition for Their never ending Bravery and Courage!Thank You Chicago Police Officers,You are saving the Children's lives when so many asswipes are taking them!... For the Retired Officer having trouble with the problematic FOID card system ,You are not alone.Check out the "Illinois Carrry" Blog, go on Forum.

Since you are retired, the best course of action would be to call a real estate agent and move to a free State. They are trying to tell you something here, heed the signals.
Yes, they actively discourage gun ownership and will confiscate them before too long, Illinois Lawmaker Julie Morrison is on camera saying that the State would love to take all guns. Sell the house while you still can.
11:55 AM 4 People Saved - Got Nothing
It's Political
To the foid card ?....call them and tell them that you are law enforcement to fast track the process. It took a week after i called. Im sure being retired law enforcement should still carry some weight

Well maybe two years ago the commander was different and only wanted recognition for himself and not all the good work the troops do there everyday.
That’s so odd ... I also happen to drive by Washington and Cicero with my three very young children at 3:00 am all the time too. I guess i’ll just be careful driving though there. If I go over the posted 35 mph with my kids, I also could have flipped over the car with my kids inside.
I have an implicit boas that I wish to make explicit. LOL
KAG Trump 2020. Democrats getting crushed. Murder Capital Chicago will be part of the campagne. GOD bless America!

Read the post you idiot. He called 20 times. It’s retired law enforcement website
I don’t know why Officer would want to speak in front of camera with these bosses by there side who don’t give a fuck about them. CPD is a business and you are doing them a favor by being in front of the camera telling them your heroic duty. Promoting the CPD fuck them. There is no way in hell would I ever give an interview for them or the media. No disrespect to the officers great job.
Retired, what the hell are you still in Illinois for. Must be Democratic voters or dumb only two valid for reasons for staying that cess pool. Don't need FOID cards in almost all other states. Wise up and get out. Now that your retired plenty of time to come back to town to visit any family if that is your reason for staying. So when the State Democrats finally get what they all want and make it illegal for you to own a gun what are you going to do. First step is the FOID nonsence then high fees to apply for CCW, high tax on ammo and soon a yearly gun tax for every weapon you own. Don't laugh will happen very soon.
Nothing good ever happens after midnight in the streets of Chicago!
Great Job...officer's, being at the right place at the right time. I remember working 10-99, and I was enroute to drop off two curfew violators. As I'm shinning my spotlight to check the address, I saw something sparkling in the someone home doorway. I Continue down the block, dropped of the curfews and then I doubled back to check into that sparkling door. It turned out to be an electrical fire. I went on the air, called for CFD. I was banging on the doors/windows and finally someone opened the door. The home was full of black smoke. I got eight people out. As fire arrived that front doorway finally caught fire. Fire made a huge mess to contain it. I was the only squad on scene my 30 Sector Sergeant arrived and the first thing out of his mouth was "don't even think about a Life Saving Award". I talked to another Supervisor and she said nobody went to the Hospital it's not going to go anywhere Kid. That was about 18 years ago. I never forgot those 2 jag off.
To retired guy. I am also retired. Fuck trying to get info from the state foid tx. Nobody answers and it goes to voicemail where nobody listens to it.
All you need is your star/badge. Fuck this commie state and the hoops they want you to jump thru. No copper is gonna ask you for your foid anyway and Im sure you got a buddy with a foid if you need ammo.
Nice

– Same here last year. Had to renew and system wouldn’t recognize my DL, FOID #’s. So what I did was create a New Account Log In , online. Not sure about that mail-in process anymore. Forget about calling, easier to drive down to Springfield for an in person Q&A...if they can guarantee a simple answer. LOL. They are backed up like the sec of state new DL program.
Anyway, re-create an account ID online since things in the system changed. My application was renewed and back in my wallet with a new photo in about a month.

- True dat. Ever notice in the opening credits that the rear windshield was removed.
Y'all know Wally, Eddie & Beav were doing drive-bys, and conveniently able toss out they’guns and MacDonalds bags when fleeing on the 405.
Used plastic wrap to seal up the opening to keep in the blunt smoke when needed.

It’s a bs comment. This guy calls and it takes a week. Pure bs. Doesn’t the idiot realize EVERYBODY that calls is retired law enforcement. You don’t even have to say it, it’s IROCC. Also they haven’t answered that phone since March
In regards to the officer trying to call to renew his FOID , I also spent 2 weeks trying to call the number they provided and got nowhere , from there I tried doing it online and ran into some difficulties, which I’m sure were my fault :) .
So what I did next was to get 2 of my good friends , also retired , and we took a ride to Springfield.
We spent a great day sharing great times and stories from days long gone , shared a great meal and in general had a fabulous day .
In regards when we got there , the building is as tight as a drum to get into and you do not get passed the 1st floor , I spoke to a gentleman, behind 3 inches of glass :) , and he was as kind and helpful as anyone you’ll ever find and was in and out of there in 15 minutes.
The moral of the story is we need to spend more time with our friends instead of seeing each other at our funeral and wakes lamenting “we need to get together more often “.
Thank you all for listening to my minor pontificating and God bless you all in these trying times .
Can't wait fast enough to retire from this fuck'n SHIT HOLE!!!!

I agree but when you have the triple merit hack saying give an interview to the media or else....

Who are you talking to? Who are you angry with in relation to this post? What snowflake? What lawyer? Your incoherent ramblings to no one are perplexing.
