The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is honoring Chicago Police Officers who they fell have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
This year's ceremony, held at the Theater on the Lake, paid special tribute to two Chicago police officers who tragically lost their lives serving the city.
CPD Officers Arèanah Preston and Andrés Vasquez Lasso were
posthumously honored with the Award of Valor. It is the highest honor an
officer killed in the line of duty can receive. Their loved ones were
in attendance to accept their awards.
Police Supt. Larry Snelling was also there, along with Mayor Brandon Johnson.
