Conversations with a Commander

"I grew up on the northwest side of Chicago. I enjoy working out and playing basketball. A 28-year veteran of CPD, I have served in this district for the past 10 years as a Lieutenant, a Captain, and now the District Commander. My vision is to build continuing partnerships with the community and open, direct conversations and dialogue in order to increase the safety of every resident, in every neighborhood, within the district."
