Earlier this morning, at approximately 9:45 a.m., an off-duty Chicago Police Officer was driving on the 3500 block of North Damen Ave when he observed a female motorist open her car door in the path of a 21 year old male cyclist. The cyclist collided with the car door with significant force, causing a laceration to his neck. The officer immediately stopped to render aid and, seeing that the victim was losing a large amount of blood from his wound, was able to utilize his specialized training to apply pressure to the cyclist’s neck with a bandage and stemmed the bleeding until Chicago Fire Department personnel could arrive on scene.

The injured cyclist was subsequently taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he is currently listed in serious but stable condition. The traffic crash remains under investigation.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson is announcing that the Chicago Police Department has moved over 150 sworn officers from desk jobs back into Chicago’s neighborhoods as part of Mayor Emanuel’s commitment to civilianize more than 300 positions at the police department this year. This move reflects CPD’s overall efforts to maximize its resources and place officers where they will be most effective at fighting crime.
These civilianization efforts were first announced in Mayor Emanuel’s 2016 city budget, and today’s milestone marks the half-way point of moving officers previously working desk jobs back to the street. For More Information Click Here
