Today, I had to announce the painful news the Chicago Police Department lost one of our city's finest to the COVID-19 virus. Since the moment this crisis arrived in our city, it has been our healthcare workers and first responders–like this officer–who have been putting their lives on the line every day to fight this virus and keep Chicagoans safe. My heart goes out to this individual’s family, friends and fellow officers whose lives have been forever changed by this terrible loss.
