New awards are impressive
Amid the shouts of congratulations
being offered the award winners at the

could be heard comments on how
beautiful and impressive the new
awards themselves looked .

has remained basically the same since
its establishment in 1977.
The new improved look ofthe awards
can be credited to several Department
members .
Members of the Awards Board Com,
mittee who attended last year's Lam
bert Tree Award Ceremony were
impressed with the awards being
presented members of the Chicago Fire
Department and there was a general
feeling that similarly impressive
awards should be presented to Depart
ment members .
Officer Claudell Ervin, Personnel Di
vision, and Youth Officer Richard Seils,
detailed to the Bureau of Community
Services, were assigned to visit six
award manufacturing companies and
conduct the necessary research.
The officers spent many hours serv
ing as liaison between the Department
and the companies. They brought 25
samples from the companies for pre
sentation to the 1979 Awards Commit
tee .
The board members selected from
these samples and offered various sug
gestions on how the awards should look.
Ervin and Seils then worked in close
contact with the manufacturing com
panies to insure that the awards pre
sented at this year's ceremony would
the best ever.

at 19th Police
Award s Night
Superintendent Richard J. Brzeczek
presented 28 police officers, one civilian
member, and one citizen with top De
partment awards at the 19th Annual
Police Recognition Ceremony held in
the Arie Crown Theater of McCormick
Place May 12.
This was the first year the families of
the winners accompanied the officers on
stage for the presentation of awards .
Seeing the proud faces of parents ,
grandparents, wives and little children
made this year's event even more of a
special occasion.
Mayor Jane M. Byrne addressed the
assembly at the ceremony and a memo
rial roll was read by Rev. Wilbur N.
Daniel, Rabbi E. H. Praumbaum and
Father Walter Mischke, C.M.F.
Bob Hale and Irv Kupcinet served as
the evening's masters of ceremonies and
the entertainment segment featured
the comedic talents of Don Rickles . A
medley of musical numbers was per
formed by the members ofthe cast of the
hit musical "Ain't Misbehavin'"-Evan
Bell, Teresa Bowers, Yvette Freeman,
Ms. Heaven, Lonnie McNeil and Shel
ton Becton .
The audience also was treated to the
soprano voice of Frances Ginsberg of the
Lyric Opera School, and the music of the
Norm Krone Orchestra.
The high point of the evening,
however, was the presentation of the
Department's highest award, the Police
Medal, awarded to officers whose
accomplishments are so outstanding as
to justify special recognition.
The recipient of this year's Police
Medal was Officer William Patterson
of the 2nd District.
While off-duty, Patterson was in his
automobile waiting for the traffic light
to change at the intersection of 55th and
State Streets when he heard several
shots fired and observed four men, two
armed with shotguns, standing in front
of a nearby restaurant. The offenders
then fired four shots at a man attemp
ting to hide behind the restaurant

counter.
After leaving his vehicle and
approaching the offenders , Patterson
drew his weapon and ordered them to
drop their weapons. Two of the offenders
ran from the scene, while a third hid in
some nearby bushes. The fourth man
dropped to the ground and fired his
weapon at the officer.
Patterson returned the fire, striking
the offender in the chest and side. The
officer then ran and removed the gun
from the offender's hand and ordered
the man in the bushes to drop his gun
and surrender. Both offenders were
placed under arrest. Subsequently, one
of the men who had escaped surren
dered to Patterson a few days later.
Patterson also was presented the
Award of Valor, awarded to officers for
outstanding acts of heroism, personal
courage and devotion to duty.
Patterson was accompanied on stage
by his wife Neenah, his son William, 9,
and daughter Leah , 3.
When presented the award, Patterson

said, "I am not one for speeches, that
isn't my job, but I do know how to say
thanks."
Patterson was stunned by being pre
sented with the coveted Police Medal.
"I was in dick's school and really
didn't know what was going on:' he said.
"All I was getting was bits and pieces.
Before the ceremony, when they took
my picture with Mayor Byrne and Su
perintendent Brzeczek, I just thought
they wanted someone to pose.
"I didn't expect it and I didn't even
believe it when it was announced. I'm
just lucky:'
"We're very proud:' said his mother,
Jeanne and stepfather Charles Wilson,
a retired officer from Area 1 Burglary.
His mother added:
"William has carried over the pride
he had when he was in the Marine
Corps." Patterson was a Marine for
three and one-half years and was a
member of a reconoiter group in Viet
Nam.
When off the job, Patterson is in
volved in a most interesting hobby.
"Now if I can only get my wife in
terested in skydiving," he said. "Even
just to get her and the children up in a
plane to get the feel of it."
His wife, Neenah, just smiled and
shook her head.
Sergeant George Coleman, 6th Dis
trict, and Officers Terrence Lanigan,
Area 2 Youth, and Richard Spiegel,
Human Relations Section, were pre
sented both the Award of Valor and the
Blue Star Award.
Coleman responded to a radio mes
sage of an armed robbery of a taxicab on
the 9300 block of South King Drive.
Supplied with a description of the three
offenders, he observed the suspects on
the street and ordered them to halt. One
ofthe offenders fired a revolver, striking
Coleman in the lower abdomen. The
sergeant returned the fire, wounding
two of the offenders. All three were sub
sequently apprehended.
While en route to another assign
ment, Lanigan responded to a broadcast
of a "robbery in progress" on the 900
block of East 103rd Street. Upon arriv
al, he met other officers and, together,
they made a plan to enter the building.
As Lanigan opened the front door, a man
fired a rifle, striking the officer in his
right arm and chest. The other officers
rushed inside and placed the three
offenders under arrest.

beries committed on West Wabansia
Avenue in which four people were killed
and three wounded. The two offenders
had taken a 10-year-old girl hostage in
their escape.
The officers located the wanted vehi
cle and a chase ensued which continued
until the offenders' vehicle collided with
a parked car. Before the officers could
exit their car, one of the offenders fired
at the officers and Spiegel was wounded.
Responding officers returned the fire,
wounding one of the fleeing offenders.
The officers placed the man under
arrest and released the hostage who had
been molested by the two offenders.
Subsequently, the second offender was
killed.
Officers Robert Lesniak and
Joseph Pindel, 18th District, Investi
gators John Mildice and John Byrne,
Area 1 Homicide/Sex, and Moreno, Hu
man Relations Section, were presented
the Award of Valor for their actions in
the capture of the two armed robbers
who had shot Spiegel.
Byrne, Mildice, Lesniak and Pindel
heard Moreno's call for assistance and
responded immediately. Upon arrival at
the scene, the officers assisted in arrest
ing the wounded offender and releasing
the hostage. They then took up a search
for the second offender.
Shortly thereafter, Byrne observed
the top of a head and the barrel of a
revolver protruding from a garbage can
in a nearby alley. The officer alerted the
other officers and ordered the man to
come out of his hiding place. The offen
der stood up, pointed his gun at Byrne
and fired. Byrne, Mildice and Lesniak
returned the fire, fatally wounding the
offender.
Other officers honored with a pre-
Chicago Police Star, May-June 1980
sentation of the Award of Valor were:
Sergeant Ollie Morgan, Jr., Area 4
Burglary.
Morgan was on patrol in the 13th Dis
trict when he observed an altercation
involving approximately 20 men on the
corner of Damen and Evergreen
Avenues. He called for assistance and
began to disperse the crowd. Then,
suddenly, a man took a pistol from his
belt and fired five shots at people on the
opposite corner.
Morgan approached the offender and
announced his office. The gunman re
plied by firing two shots at the sergeant.
Morgan returned the fire. Although
wounded twice, the offender entered his
vehicle and fled. Morgan radioed the
direction of his flight and attended to
the people who may have been shot by
the offender. Subsequently, responding
units found the gunman lying in his
automobile a short distance away and
placed him under arrest.
Officers Wayne Conley, John
Crotty, and Jack Wilkens, 5th Dis
trict.
The officers were off-duty and driving
in the area of the 11300 block of South
Cicero Avenue when they observed two
women in bank uniforms running from
a bank calling for help. The officers also
observed a suspect running from the
bank wearing a green mask, sunglasses
and carrying a gun in one hand and a
bag in the other. The man entered an
automobile and fled.
The officers pursued the subject and
curbed his vehicle a few blocks away.
The offender then fired three shots at
the officers. Conley returned the fire,

shattering a window of the offender's
vehicle. At this point, the offender
threw his gun out the car window and
surrendered. The officers recovered
more than $7,000 in stolen currency.
Officer Arthur Davis, Communica
tions Operations Section.
While off-duty, Davis was at a res
taurant on the 9800 block of South
Western Avenue. He overheard a man
say "give me your gold necklace" and
observed him pointing a gun at the res
taurant manager. Davis immediately
placed himselfbetween the offender and
witnesses and announced that he was a
police officer. The offender turned and
pointed his gun at Davis. The officer
fired and wounded the offender, who
was then taken into custody.

Officers Kenneth Korhonen and
John Strachan, 14th District, and
Kenneth Fligelman and Jasper
Romano, Special Operations Group
North.
The four officers responded to a call of
a fire on the 1800 block of North Mozart
Street. Upon arrival, the officers
learned that nine children were still on
the second floor of the building. The
officers entered the building but be
cause of the dense smoke were unable to
see. By following the children's cries
and by crawling on their hands and
knees , the officers were able to locate
them.
Four of the children were wrapped in
drapes torn from the windows and car
ried to safety. The officers then re-

entered the building and carried the re
maining five children to the street
below.
As they were leaving the building, a
window and wall exploded which caused
Fligelman to be burned on the arm and
Karhonen to be struck in the eye with
burning debris. Both officers were
treated at a nearby hospital.
Officers Kenneth Grandy and Les
ter Johnson, 14th District.
Grandy and Johnson observed fire
and smoke coming from the second floor
apartment of a building on the 2000
block of North Pointe Street. They im
mediately contacted the Communica
tions Center and requested Fire Depart
ment personnel. Upon learning that
there were two people trapped inside,
the officers entered the building.
They found a 15-year-old girl suffer
ing from burns and smoke inhalation
and removed her to safety. The officers
then re-entered the building to search
for a five-year-old boy. The heavy smoke
and flames were hosed down by firemen
as the officers crawled along the floor.
The seriously burned boy was found and
taken to safety. Both children have
since recovered.
The following officers were wounded
in the line of duty and presented the
Police Blue Star Award:
Officer George Vanderschoot, 3rd
District.
Vanderschoot was one of several offi
cers responding to a broadcast of an
"armed man barricaded" on the 6500
block of South Eberhart Avenue. The
man had shot his wife and neighbor, set
the house on fire and was holding police
at bay from inside the house.
The offender's wife had been rescued
through a side window. Vanderschoot
and another officer entered the rear of
the smoke filled house in an attempt to

trict.
While working tactical assignment,
Johnson and his partner observed four

Montgomery and his partner were
waved down by two men at the intersec
tion of Fulton Street and Cicero Avenue.
The officers learned that the two men
were assaulted by a man armed with a

gangway. While searching the
gangway, the officers were approached
by the offender.
The officers told the offender to sur

DEPARTMENT COMMENDATIONS While on patrol , Lieutenent
Raymond Murray, 2nd District, re
sponded to a broadcast of a man with a
gun on the 8700 block of South Honore
Street. Burray was met by a woman who
told him that her boyfriend had been
drinking and shot at her twice. She later
escaped out the window and called
police.
As assisting units arrived and Mur
ray instructed them to surround the
house, the woman told him that her two
small children were still in the house.
The lieutenant obtained the phone
number from the woman and called her
boyfriend. In a calm and relaxed tone ,
he encouraged the man to surrender.
The man agreed to surrender but only
if Murray would meet him on the front
porch. The lieutenant, without regard
for his own personal safety, complied
and was successful in placing the man
under arrest without incident.
Subsequently, both of the children
were unharmed , the weapon recovered,
and the man charged with aggravated
assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Camp is change
from cem ent and
broken bottles
There are several youths on the South
Side of the ci ty who will not soon forget
the efforts of Area 1 Youth Officers Vin
cent Fagan, Timothy Hardy, and Robert
Loughran.
These officers have been involved in a
development program which allows
underprivileged youths to spend two
weeks at a beautiful summer camp in
the country.
"It's great because it gives a kid a
chance to get away from the cement and
broken bottles for awhile," said Hardy.
"And it shows them that somebody real
ly does care. The program is rewarding
in nature and provides a more positive
side of life that the child doesn't usually
see. Some of these children have been
victims of criminal, sometimes brutal,
behavior."
The camp is Holiday Home Camp
situated in Williams Bay, Wisconsin,
and was established in 1887. Originally
an all-girls summer camp, it was de
veloped in later years into a camp for
underprivileged children. The camp
operates strictly on private donations
from concerned citizens and organiza
tions.
"Tim and I first became aware of the
program through Martha Goes, a South
Side resident and a major financial ben
efactor to the camp;' said Fagan. "We
were invited to the camp's annual meet
ing last year and after talking wi th
Camp Director Dorothy Jensen, learned
that Holiday Home Camp provides for
two groups of 100 children each to
attend a two-week camp session ."
During the summer, Holiday Home
Camp also holds an extended three
week camp session for children from the
Chicago Diabetes Association in be
tween th.e ir two 2-week sessions for
underprivileged children.
"We gained cooperation from Mrs.
Jensen to allow the Department to be a
referring agency for the camp;' said
Fagan. Other agencies that serve as re
ferral centers for the camp include the
Juvenile Protective Association, Hull
House and the American Red Cross.
Lieutenant Harold Thomas, who was

commander ofthe Youth Division at the
time, gave the officers his full support.
"This support was continued by Com
mander Dennis Nowicki, now deputy
superintendent of the Bureau of Admi
nistrative Services, and our present
supervisor, Commander Patrick Clark;'
said Fagan. "Full support has also been
given by Lieutenant Richard Kraft,
commanding officer of Area 1 Youth.
"Other people who have been helpful
in the formation of our plans have been
Marjorie Perham of the Juvenile Pro
tective Association and, of course, Mrs.
Jensen. Margaret Garcia , of the 2nd
District, gave us a tremendous amount
of help. She assisted us with identifying
referrals and helped us obtain a hall for
the meeting with the parents of the chil
dren that were selected to attend the
camp."
The camp's selection process is very
liberal and is basically limited to age (8
to 11 years of age), low family income,
and a desire to attend.
"We look into the general family
background of the child," said Hardy.
"We recommend youths who would ben
efit the most from the exposure to a
camp of this type. While we do have
children categorized as minors in need
of supervision, incorrigible, runaways,
truants, and ungovernables, we don't
want hardcore offenders. We don't want
kids going up there and taking the beds
home with them."
"Yes," agreed Fagan. "The camp is not
geared for discipline-it is geared for
recreation. If we send up discipline
problems, the camp is not going to be
able to handle it."
Hardy said, "these children are vic
tims of some type of 'family' crime.
Whether that be abuse, father deser
,
tion, or whatever. In other words, chil
dren that have been deprived for one
reason or another. We did look a little
into some of the status offenders but
these were children that have a problem
at home and are basically good kids.
"A prime example is one child we had
last year. He lived alone wi th his mother
and performed little odd jobs around the
neighborhood-cleaning up , bringing
back bottles, cutting lawns. He turned
all the money over to his mother. But
one day, on Mother's Day, he took his
money and bought his mom a plant and
card. Arriving home, the mother got
very upset because the boy wasn't sup
posed to spend his money that way. The
child was confused and flustered and
ran away from home. The mother re
ported him missing and that is how we
became involved.
"We gave the boy the 'reward' of the
camp. There is no way that family could
afford to send the boy to camp. The child
also learned a valuable lesson-you
don't have to be bad to get ahead or to
receive attention:'
The officers recommended approx
imately 40 youths for consideration to
the camp.
"Fifteen were selected for the first
camp session and 13 for the second," said
Fagan. "Family background , reasons
for referral , and our personal comments
were included on the application. We
recommended youths we personally felt
would benefit the most from the camp
exposure. On a few of the applications,
we wrote in big block letters on the bot
tom 'make every consideration possible'
because we felt that the camp would do

wonders for these particular children."
The 28 youths attending the camp
last year were a group of both boys and
girls and a mixture of various ethnic
backgrounds.
"We made it easier on the parents by
arranging for everyone to meet at Area
1 Headquarters where there would be a
bus waiting to take the children to the
train station downtown," said Hardy.
"The camp counselors rode with the
youths in the camp's own private train
car. The train ride alone was a wonder
ful experience for these kids."
It is doubtful that any of the youths
attending camp made the complaint, "I
don't have anything to do".
"They kept them going from dawn to
dusk ;' said Fagan . "Activities included
swimming, boating, arts and crafts,
cookouts, baseball, archery, and a water
balloon party. When we went up there at
mid-session to visit, they were planning
a carnival."
Hardy said, "the children returning
from camp said they loved the food the
most but hated cleaning thecabin. They
had to clean their own cabin three times
a day and if it wasn't done right, they
did it over. Awards were presented for
the cleanest cabin which added fun to
the chore."
The officers received an ~valuation of
every child at the conclusion ofthe camp
session.
"Ninety-eight per cent of the reports
were favorable," said Fagan. "The re
port also stated whether they felt the
child would benefit from another camp
session. This year we hope to be able to
place 40 youths in the camp."
Unfortunately, the present program
can not be extended to cover youths on a
city-wide basis.
"Right now the Department is sup
plying one-fourth of the campers and
that's just from Area I;' said Fagan. "If
we recommended many more youths,
we would choke off the other agencies.
The camp can only provide facilities for
so many youths."
The officers feel that the success of
Holiday Home Camp is only the "tip of
the iceberg" and are currently working
on a more extensive camping program.
Loughran has replaced Hardy, who is
devoting his time to other youth pro
grams, in the program. Hardy will be on
hand as an advisor as the program de
velops.
"It's probably like looking for a needle
in a haystack;' said Fagan. "We were so
lucky to find a camp like Holiday Home
Camp that cares so much for needy chil
dren. The child's family doesn't pay a
dime, not even for the train trip."
While the Holiday Home Camp is an
important program, it is limited . The
officers' "dream" is to be instrumental
in the development of a Midwestern
camp directed as an alternative tojuve
nile court for maladaptive children and
adjudicated youths. The Department
would serve as a continuing consultant
and referring agency to the camp.
"The camp would be for youths de
veloping a pattern in offenses, not for
the hard-core offender;' said Loughran.
"Youth officers can see this pattern. The
juvenile starts with minor offenses ,
then moves on to shoplifting, then
strongarm robbery and even more se
rious crimes. The best description for
these juveniles are 'youths at risk'. We
should nip this pattern in the bud while
we can. Putting the child on probation
Chicago Police Star, May -June 1980
17
01' locking him up may be the worst
thing to do."
Fagan said, "the workload / workforce
of the Cook County Juvenile Court is
staggering. Offering such a viable
alternative to this and other agencies
for the delinquent youth may help to
. nct'lce an even higher level of profes
sIon ,I care by reducing this caseload."
:Jnder consultation from the Depart
mer,t ard the Fund for the Advance
ment ofC8mping, a steering committee
was formed to discuss a plan of action.
The committee members included mem
bers from the Department, Cook County
Juvenile Court, and various organiza
tions interested in the well-being of
youths.
"Bob Loughran and myself are visit
ing camp sites all over the country," said
Fagan. "We are meeting with profes
sional camping people and writing ex
tensive reports detailing the good and
bad points of various camps. We hope to
incorporate this information in the de
velopment of our camp.
"Professional camping personnel and
youth serving agencies would manage
the camp, and concerned citizens and
various foundations would fund it. The
Department would serve as its consul
tant. This would be the first major police
department in the country to be in
volved in a camp to this extent."
The camps the officers will be visiting
make up a wide cross-section of pro
grams for youths including special
programs for delinquent youth.
"The camp in Dallas showed incredi
ble results," said Fagan. "Eighty-five
per cent of the juveniles attending the
camp on the recommendation of a judge,
did not return back into the judiciary
system. This figure along with the fme
particulars of the plan illustrates how
important our program can be."
They're champs!

18
Police Officer of th e M onth Fourteen officers were recently cited
as Police Officers of the Month for out
standing police work.
The officers are Robert Schaller,
Louis Palikij, Ronald Armata and
Robert Baade, Special Operations
Group West; Officer Raymond Bickel,
19th District; Officers Edward
Swiderski and Thomas McSharry,
9th District; Officers Richard Spiegel
and Paul Moreno, Human Relations
Section; Officer Richard Pierce, Jr.,
18th District; Officers John Capers
and Marc Davilo, 1st District, and
Officers Anthony Mannina and
Daniel Sanchez, Jr., 12th District.
Schaller, Palikij, Armata and Baade,
working as a team, effected eight on
view arrests of offenders in the act of
arson in two police periods. In addition,
they also made 20 other arrests.
Bickel, while on furlough, came to the
rescue of a man being chased by a knife
wielding offender. Bickel interceded in
the chase and placed himself between
the victim and the offender. He identi
fied himself as an officer.
The offender slashed at Bickel, cut
ting the officer's vest across the chest
area. Finally, after he could retreat no
further, Bickel fired when the offender
was upon him, killing the offender.
Swiderski and McSharry appre
hended a hold-up man after an exten
sive foot chase through yards and gang
ways. The officers blocked the offender's
escape from a gangway, ordered him to
drop his pistol and placed him under
arrest.
Spiegel and Moreno, responding to a
simulcast of armed robberies in the 14th
District where four persons had been
killed, observed the wanted car with the
two suspects. The officers alerted a beat
car and they pursued the offenders who
lost control of their car when making a
turn.
Before Spiegel or Moreno could exit
their car, one of the offenders opened
fire, hitting Spiegel. Responding offic
ers wounded one of the offenders, while
the other fled down an alley.
The officers then found the fleeing
offender hiding in a garbage can. In
stead of surrendering, he opened fire on
the officers who killed him in the ex
change of shots.
Pierce, while responding to a robbery
in progress in which three people were
shot, saw the wanted offender hiding
behind a building. Pierce rushed the
offender and while restraining him, re
covered a .38 caliber revolver and a
sawed-off M-1 carbine rifle.
Capers and Davilo while on routine
patrol were checking the State Street
Mall area and adjoining courtways.
They observed a disrobed female strug
gling with a male offender who was in
the process of raping the victim. The
offender upon seeing the marked squad,
fled with the officers giving chase. He
was apprehended shortly thereafter and
placed under arrest.
Sanchez and Mannina, after being
alerted by a citizen to the whereabouts
of a wan ted vehicle seen at the scene of a
shooting, gave chase and encountered
the offenders in an alley.
Mannina chased two ofthe three ofen
ders and yelled for them to stop. One of
them stopped, turned and aimed a hand
gun at Mannina, who wounded the sus
pect. The other man fled. Sanchez also
had to defend himself when the other
offender pointed a gun at him. Sanchez
wounded the offender.
While Sanchez guarded two of the
suspects, Mannina searched for the
other offender and found him hiding
under a car.
The victim of the offenders' shooting
was dead on arrival at a hospital. The
officers recovered a .32 caliber revolver,
a 16-gauge sawed-off shotgun and a 30
30 rifle. All three offenders were
charged with murder.
IN MEMORIAM Friends and colleagues join with the Chicago Police Star in expressing the deepest
sympathy to the widows and families of those officers who recently died.

Officer
James F. Lynch
In our March-April issue of Chicago
Police Star, we ran picture of Officer
James Lynch, Administrative Opera
tions Services, as recipient of WGN-TV
"Friend Indeed" Award. Correct pic
ture should have been that of Officer
James F. Lynch, 2nd District, above,
who was winner of award. Our sincere
apology.
,
Eight officers recently were honored
with the WGN-TV "Friend Indeed"
Award.
They are Sergeant Willard Kleppe
and Officer Willard Streff, 19th Dis
trict; Officers Thomas Domagala and
Lawrence Skonie, 3rd District; Offi
cers Kenneth Grandy and Lester
Johnson, 14th District; and Officers
Wayne Robertson and Thomas
Tomson, 1st District.
Streff was investigating a traffic acci
dent in the 2700 block of North Cly
bourn Avenue when he was approached
by a man who had just cut offhis thumb
and three fingers on his right hand with
a radial saw at a nearby lumberyard .
Streff immediately tried to stem the
flow of blood and took him to a hospi tal
for emergency treatment.
Kleppe then went to the lumberyard
and retrieved the severed fingers,
placed them in ice and took them to the
hospital. The man underwent surgery
to reimplant the fingers.
Domagala and Skonie, responding to
an assignment of a "sick removal" in the
1500 block of East 63rd Street, found a
woman in the apartment holding a new
born infant in her arms.
The officers immediately handed the
baby to the grandmother of the woman
and instructed her to wrap the infant in
blankets while they carried the mother
to the squadrol for transport to a hos
pital.
They took the baby into the squadrol
cab for additional warmth and upon in
specting the blankets in which the baby
was hastily wrapped, they found him in
an upside-down position, almost suffo
cating.
and Johnson were in
in saving the lives of two
from a burning apartment
Point Street and Armitage
Disregarding their own safety, the
officers climbed the stairs to the second
floor of the smoke-filled building. They
found a girl suffering from burns and
smoke inhalation and carried her to
safety.
The officers went back with respond
ing firemen to locate a five-year-old boy.
Robertson and Tomson saved the life
of a six-year-old boy who had his neck
wedged between the bars of a turnstile
on the "L" platform at Adams Street and
Wabash Avenue. They freed him and
Tomson began cardiopulmonary resus
citation, assisted by Robertson. Then
the boy was taken with his mother to a
hospital where he recovered.
RECENT RETIREMENTS Following officers retired recently from Department after years of honorable
service. They have the good wishes of Department colleagues and friends .
