Conversations with a Commander

"I grew up as the son of a military father and, although I moved around a lot, I primarily found myself in the south suburbs. I completed my BS in criminal justice at Chicago State University and my MS in public administration leadership at Lewis University. My vision is to foster tangible relationships between members of the department and community through new and trendsetting ideas. To see this vision through, the first step is to develop and strengthen the internal relationships within the district staff. This must be done prior to developing strong and true external relationships with the community. Through strong internal and external relationships, we’ll work toward providing the safest possible community."
— Commander Andre Parham
