PB&PA President
A Time for Remembering
T
his past May I had the opportunity to attend the National Police services that were held in Washington,
D. C. Having never attended this event in the past, I
was not quite sure what to expect, neither in the attendance
of the event nor the feelings of what being at this event would
stir inside my own consciousness.
After first arriving at the hotel and getting checked in, I
was somewhat overwhelmed at the numbers of brothers and
sisters in law enforcement from all over the country and several foreign countries who had gathered to pay their respect
to our fallen comrades.
The ceremonies started off on Friday night, May 12, at
which time the NAPO “Top Cops” Award winners were announced. The event, hosted by “America’s Most Wanted”
creator John Walsh, was a proud moment for everyone in the
audience. Walsh’s production company had re-created all
of the recipients’ events into short biography films showing
why theses officers had been named “Top Cops”. Each story
was outstanding, to say the least.
The whole audience sat in stunned silence as we all witnessed the recreations of true “heroes” in action. We all listened (still in silence) as the winners came to the podium and
explained how their actions were no different than what any
one of us in the room would have done.
I was amazed, and I am positive that many people in the
audience had the same reaction, knowing that these officers
had placed their lives in jeopardy just because it “was their
job”. It was a proud moment for me. As President of the PB
& PA, it was an even a prouder moment when three Chicago police officers, members of Units 156A and 156B, were
given their awards.
The actions of Lt. Joseph Gorman, Sergeant James R.
Sanchez and Detective Gregory Jacobson showed that they
are truly deserving of being named along with the nation’s
best. The actions of these three (nomination letter appears
in this issue) is truly what being called to service “above
and beyond the line of duty” is really all about. After the
ceremony was over I had the privilege of speaking with all
three of the winners. Again, I was truly amazed; there was
no bravado, no bragging, just three very humble men who
happened to be police officers that knew that if they didn’t
act the lives of many innocent children were at stake.
The events of the next day again made me very proud of
the uniform that I have worn for over 30 years. The bicycle
“Unity Tour” with over one thousand riders came rolling
into the judiciary square. This sea of blue seemed to go on
forever, as rider after rider waved theirs arms in jubilant celebration of this awe inspiring spectacle. Riders from all over
this great nation, California, Texas, Florida, Maine, Illinois,
Utah, all with the same purpose of mind, to raise the image
of police officers by making this arduous trek.
At the end of the ride, and with the celebration that continued, it was announced that these riders had amassed millions of hours in seat time, but not only that, they had raised
over $1.3 million dollars from contributions to be donated
to the building of the National Police Museum. The museum that will tell the real stories of what we all do as police
officers and the sacrifices that have been made in the name
of justice and a free society.
These sacrifices can be seen on the walls of the monument at the National Law Enforcement Memorial, the scene
of the Sunday night Candle Light vigil. I have never seen
such a heart stirring event, as thousands of uniformed men
and women came to such a reverent and holy place to pay
their respects. Thousands of officers all stood in complete silence as the guest speakers went on to tell of the lives of their
loved ones that have now completed their “tour of duty”.
How each of these officers had made the ultimate sacrifice
for their fellow man and how they should not ever be forgotten. The night continued as small candles were passed out
to everyone. The first candle was lit and from that single
candle the flame was passed from one person to another until
the night sky was ablaze with the glow of yellow and orange
flicking lights. A small blue light was projected out over the
audience and, in that silent moment, we all knew that we are
a small part in a much bigger picture.
The names that were added to the wall totaled over 145
dead from last year and almost as many added from historical research. With the reading of each name, we were again
reminded that this “job” is not like any other in the country.
Page We are not always welcome on every call or in every
situation we are involved in but, when it really matters,
“we” are there and in some cases we pay for our service
to this country with our lives.
The events that surround Law Enforcement week are
outstanding, the Motorcycle Law Ride, the laying of the
wreath on the Capitol grounds, the friendships that were
made, are memories that I will never forget.
The nation has given us a great week to be proud of
what we do and who we are and we must never, ever,
forget that!

Lifetime
Membership
A
re you nearing retirement after serving
your local department for 20 years or
more? Would you like to become a
lifetime member with the PB&PA of IL, but your
unit is less than 20 years old? Did you know
that you can “buy-out”, at half-price, the years of
membership dues that you would need to reach
your 20-year minimum with the Association? For
example: Adams County Sheriff’s Department,
Unit #155 joined the Association in 1996. If
one of their officers retired now after being on
that department for 20 years and having paid
Association dues since 1996, he or she would
only have 12 years with the PB&PA of IL. If he
or she wanted to pay for the remaining 8 years
in advance to become a lifetime member and
receive his/her gold card, he or she would need to
pay $168.00 = (8 years x $42.00 per year divided
by 2). He or she also has the option to continue
paying yearly dues at the full membership rate
(currently $42.00) until such time as he or she
reached the 20-year minimum and receives his/
her gold card at that time.

Candidates for the 2007 Elections
I
PB&PA Treasurer
t is hard to believe that it has been four years since you
supported me by election to the state board. Following
our by-laws, I am now nearing the end of my current
term. As this day quickly approaches, I find myself still
wanting to serve you and our fellow officers from around
the state. Our current Treasurer, Jim Genz, will be seeking
the office of 1st Vice- President so I am announcing that I
will seek the office of PB&PA Treasurer.
After being elected to this board in 2003, I made a decision to become more involved with this association’s internal workings even though I was “just” a Sergeant-at -Arms.
One of the areas of great concern to me was (and still is) that
of the budget. On many occasions during the past years I
have made it a point to observe, question and speak out on
the numerous budget items that are voted on by the board
members, on your behalf. Being involved allows us to maintain fiscal responsibility for this association.
Our current Treasurer, Jim Genz, has done an outstanding
job of moving this organization into the future and we owe
him a debt of thanks! By holding the line on unnecessary
expenditures, proper investments of your money and, most
importantly, keeping the other board members AND YOU
aware of the budget, I will continue to pursue the path of
financial stability. Should you decide that I am worthy of
your vote, I pledge to continue to work hard to ensure that
our money is safe, secure and accounted for!
As in the past, you may contact me anytime about any
of your concerns. My home telephone number is 309-5657609 and work is 309-494-8304.
Thank you for your past and future support!
Respectively,
Phil Fisher
F
Financial Secretary
irst, I would like to thank you all, the membership of
the PBPA, for your support. For the past four years
I have had the honor and the privilege to serve as
Recording Secretary on your State PBPA Board. I have
had the opportunity to meet and talk to a lot of you at the
various PBPA events throughout the years and have tried to
represent your interests and concerns in the performance of
my duties and responsibilities as a State Board member. At
this time I would like to ask for your continued support as I
announce my candidacy for the office of Financial Secretary
of the State PBPA.
This coming October marks my 35th year in Law Enforcement. I began my career in 1972 as a patrolman in
Northbrook, Illinois. In October 1976 I joined the Chicago
Police Department. Since that time I have been promoted
to Patrol Specialist (Field Training Officer), Detective and
to my present rank of Sergeant. I serve on the Board of
Directors of the Chicago Police Detectives Association and
have served in various positions with the Chicago Sergeants
PBPA 156A (Financial Secretary, Treasurer, Vice President,
Editor of the News Letter and Webmaster, having created
and developed their original Web Site). Currently I am assigned to the Chicago Police Department Training Academy
and am certified as an Instructor by the State Of Illinois Police Training Board. I am also a certified Taser Instructor. I
have earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from the U. of I,
Chicago and have worked toward a Masters Degree.
It is my sincerest wish to continue to represent your interests and concerns as your elected Financial Secretary.
Respectfully,
Gordon Barnhill

LAW ENFORCEMENT
CODE OF ETHICS
AS AN ILLINOIS
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. . .
My fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to
safeguard lives and property; to protect the
innocent against deception, the weak against
oppression or intimidation and the peaceful
against violence or disorder; and to respect the
Constitutional rights of all people to liberty,
equality and justice.
I WILL keep my private life unsullied as an
example to all; maintain courageous calm in
the face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop
self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the
welfare of others. Honest in thought and deed
in both my personal and official life, I will be
exemplary in obeying the laws of the land and
the regulations of my department. Whatever
I see or hear of a confidential nature or that is
confided to me in my official capacity will be
kept ever-secret, unless revelation is necessary
in the performance of my duty.
I WILL never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities or
friendships to influence my decisions. With
no compromise for crime and with relentless
prosecution of criminals, I will enforce the law
courteously and appropriately, without fear or
favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence.
I RECOGNIZE the badge of my office as a
symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the
ethics of the police service. I will constantly
strive to achieve these objectives and ideals,
dedicating myself before God to my chosen
profession... law enforcement.
The
Police Officer’s
Prayer
O Almighty God, whose great
power and eternal wisdom embrace the universe, watch over
all police and law enforcement
officers.
Protect them from harm in the
performance of their quest to
stop crime, robberies, riots and
violence.
We pray, help them keep our
streets and homes safe day and
night. We recommend them to
your loving care because their
duty is dangerous. Grant them
your unending strength and
courage in their daily assignments.
Dear God, protect these brave
officers, grant them your almighty protection; unite them
safely with their families after
duty ends.
Amen

The Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee, Inc.
Professional Representation For Law Enforcement Professionals
Protecting The Protectors
Heading into collective bargaining without a professional negotiator and the backing of a statewide police union is like confronting an
armed suspect without a weapon and back-up. Your fellow officers have good intentions, but they’re no match for the experienced negotiators retained by your employer. Bargaining a fair contract requires the work of skilled negotiators and professionals trained in the
arts of mediation and arbitration. You need and deserve excellent representation and with the Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee,
Inc. (PBLC), you’ll have it.
The PBLC Commitment
The PBLC is a not-for-profit corporation affiliated with the Policemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (PBPA). Our highly
trained, specialized staff includes experienced labor representatives and in-house legal counsel, all of whom participate in continuing
legal and labor education. The PBLC’s board of directors, also known as the State Labor Committee, is organized by and for the rank
and file and is composed solely of full-time police officers. Our mission is to provide the best, most competent representation possible
at an affordable price.
Protecting Your Interests/Defending Your Rights
Collective Bargaining
Your bargaining unit is unique. The Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee represents each individual bargaining unit based upon the
needs, goals and expectations of that unit. Your PBLC labor representative provides assistance, advice and advocacy at the bargaining
table.
Contract Maintenance
Once an agreement is reached, the PBLC monitors employer/employee actions during the term of the contract to ensure compliance.
Your labor representative takes a proactive stance by meeting periodically with both the bargaining unit and management to address
concerns and prevent misunderstandings.
Interest Arbitration
If a satisfactory bargaining agreement cannot be reached, the PBLC will provide an experienced attorney to represent your bargaining
unit at interest arbitration at no additional expense to the unit.
Grievance Arbitration
There are occasions in which a compromise cannot be reached amicably. If your contract provides for grievance arbitration, the PBLC
will provide an experienced attorney to represent your bargaining unit or an individual member at binding grievance arbitration at no
additional cost to the unit.
Unfair Labor Practices
The PBLC will process all unfair labor charges against your employer and argue before the State Labor Relations Board.
The Legal Defense Benefit
• Representation at discipline and discharge proceedings at arbitration or before the Police and Fire Board or Civil Service Commission;
• Representation during internal investigation interviews;
• Representation during criminal investigations and proceedings in which the criminal offense allegedly occurred during the performance of the member’s official police duties;
• Initial consultation and advice in civil rights violation cases, including referral to a reputable civil rights attorney for representation at a discounted rate; and
• Peace of mind in knowing that if you are accused, you have someone to turn to.

2007 Brings New
71st Annual
Retirement Plan
Police Benevolent
Contribution Limits & Protective
Association State
Convention
nnual contribution limits for tax-qualified employersponsored plans increased in 2007, offering plan
participants an opportunity to save more on taxes
today, while increasing their long-term retirement savings.
Thanks to a combination of contribution limit increases,
participants in many employer-sponsored plans may significantly increase their contributions. As a result of these limit
increases, participants in 457, 403(b), and 401(k) plans will
be able to make voluntary contributions of as much as 100%
of includible compensation up to an elective deferral limit of
$15,500 in 2007. In addition, employees in many of those
plans who are age 50 or older, or who qualify for traditional
catch-up provisions, may contribute additional dollars. With
both the deferral limit and the catch-up contribution limits
increasing, plan participants will have an opportunity to save
more toward their retirement goals. See below for more details on the catch-up contribution limits.
Contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs are set at
$4,000 in 2007, with further increases through 2008 to a
maximum of $5,000. IRA owners age 50 and older are also
able to make annual catch-up contributions of $1,000 in
2007, for a total IRA contribution of $5,000.
A
Catch-up Provision Contribution Limits
Plan participants age 50 or older by year-end, can make
up for lost time, thanks to the new tax laws. If they contribute
the normal maximum amount ($15,500), they are eligible to
make an additional catch-up contribution of up to $5,000,
for a total contribution of $20,500 in 2007.
Traditional Pre-retirement Catch-up
This is available for 457 plan participants who, in previous years, have not deferred or have deferred less than the
maximum allowed. The earliest a participant can begin this
traditional catch-up is three years before they reach normal
retirement age. Normal retirement age is considered the age
at which an employee is eligible to retire under the basic
pension plan, without actuarial reduction of their retirement
benefits.
The maximum three-year catch-up contribution allowed
for 2007 is $15,500; this is in addition to the regular 457
contribution limit of $15,500, for a total deferral opportunity
of $31,000 in 2007. These traditional catch-up contributions
are allowed for three consecutive calendar years.
Note: 457 plan participants cannot elect to utilize both
the Age 50 catch-up and the three-year catch-up at the same
time. 

Memories from a Bygone Era
THE PAST
BLASTS FROM
By: Dianne Grey
A
s usual, the April – May – June, 1952 issue of The Policemen’s Magazine contained several
articles from the different Units of the PB&PA of IL. Most of the Units related information
about salary increases, new hires, promotions and retirements, but a few of the Units shared
unusual information - a few of which are copied here. This issue also contained many pictures and
descriptions of criminals wanted by the Illinois Bureau of Identification and Investigation (some of
which are copied here). There were also many articles by the FBI detailing the crimes of fugitives
that they were seeking. 

NAPO
LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
President’s FY2008 Budget Slashes
Funding for State and Local Law
Enforcement Assistance Grant Programs
Department of Justice (DoJ)
Grant Programs
he President’s fiscal 2008 budget proposes large cuts
to state and local law enforcement assistance grant
programs. The budget proposal would cut federal
assistance to these DOJ grant programs by more than half
(54%) compared to FY2007 funding levels, from $2.6 billion
to $1.2 billion. While the President’s budget does not propose
to eliminate the Byrne‑JAG program as it has in previous
years, it does propose to consolidate certain grants under the
program into four new law enforcement grant programs: the
Violent Crime Reduction Partnership Initiative, the Byrne
Public Safety and Protection Program, the Prevention and
Prosecution of Violence Against Women and Related Victim
Services Program, and the Child Safety and juvenile justice
Program. These would all be discretionary competitive grant
programs, meaning that there would no longer be a formula
grant under Byrne‑JAG, and that local agencies would have
to compete for all funding.
Below are program descriptions of the four newly proposed consolidated grants programs:
• The Violent Crime Reduction Partnership Initiative
would be to help communities suffering from high rates of
violent crime to address the issue by forming and developing
effective multi‑jurisdictional law enforcement partnerships
between local, State, and Federal law enforcement agencies.
Through a competitive grant process, the Office of Justice
Programs (OJP) would provide funding and technical assistance to communities seeking to establish partnerships to
investigate and reduce violent crime ‑ including efforts to
address drug trafficking and criminal gang activity. This program is slated to be funded at $200 million.
• The Byrne Public Safety and Protection Program
T
would consolidate many of OJP’s State and local law enforcement assistance programs into a single, flexible grant
that will help State, local, and tribal governments develop
programs that would fit the particular needs of their jurisdictions. Through a competitive grant process, OJP will
assist State and local governments in addressing a number
of high‑priority concerns, including: (1) reducing violent
crime at the local levels through the Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative; (2) addressing the criminal justice issues
surrounding substance abuse through drug courts, residential treatment for prison inmates, prescription drug monitoring programs, methamphetamine lab cleanup, and cannabis
eradication efforts; (3) promoting and enhancing law enforcement information sharing efforts; (4) improving the capacity of State and local law enforcement and justice system
personnel to make use of forensic evidence and reducing
DNA evidence analysis backlogs; (5) addressing domestic
trafficking in persons; (6) improving and expanding prisoner
re‑entry initiatives; and (7) improving services to victims
of crime to facilitate their participation in the legal process.
This program is marked to be funded at $350 million.
All other grant programs under State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance are proposed to be eliminated.
• The Prevention and Prosecution of Violence Against
Women and Related Victim Services Program, located
within the Office on Violence Against Women, is a new
consolidated, competitive grant program to support State,
local, tribal, and community efforts to develop and implement effective, coordinated prevention and prosecution of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, and support related victims services. Awarded funds are
designed to forge state, local and tribal partnerships among
police, prosecutors, the judiciary, victim advocates, health
care providers, and faith leaders, in order to help provide
victims with the protection and services they need to pursue
safe and healthy lives, while simultaneously enabling communities to hold offenders accountable. This program would
be funded at $370 million.
• The Child Safety and Juvenile Justice Program consolidates existing grants under the juvenile justice Programs,
such as the Internet Crimes Against Children, into a single
flexible grant program. As with the previous three grant programs proposed in the President’s FY2008 budget, the OJP
will award funding through a competitive discretionary grant
process to assist State and local governments in addressing
Page 27
multiple child safety and juvenile justice needs to: reduce
incidents of child exploitation and abuse, including those facilitated by the use of computers and the Internet, improve
juvenile just ice outcomes, and address school safety needs.
This program would be funded at $280 million.
The President’s budget allocates only $32.308 million
for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program ‑$4 million for training and technical assistance and
the remaining $28.308 million for program management and
administration. This is a far cry from the authorized funding
level of $1.15 billion, and it provides absolutely no funding
for the hiring or retention of police officers.
The President’s reasoning for reducing or eliminating
funding for these vital state and local law enforcement grant
programs is that the administration feels they are “excessive
and not effective.” This is despite numerous meetings NAPO
and other law enforcement groups have had with the administration during the development of the budget in which we
expounded on the necessity and value of these grant programs to law enforcement agencies for protecting our communities. The President also cites that he has increased funding for federal law enforcement agencies, particularly the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, as a reason why he proposes
cutting funding for state and local law enforcement. While
NAPO fully supports our brothers and sisters in federal law
enforcement, we feel that state and local law enforcement
is no less important in protecting our neighborhoods from
domestic crime and terrorist threats.

budget proposal for DOJ programs please visit: http://www.
whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2008/pdf/appendix/jus.pdf
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY GRANT PROGRAMS
The President’s FY2008 budget proposes $1.896 billion for Department of Homeland Security State and local
programs, of which $1.050 billion is provided for the three
biggest first responder grant programs: the State Homeland
Security Grant (SHSG) program, the Law Enforcement
Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP), and the Urban
Area Security Initiative (UASI). Funding for all three programs would be cut under this budget proposal compared to
FY2007 levels, with the SHSG program taking the biggest
hit for the second year in a row ‑ from $525 million down to
$187 million. The LETPP is cut from $375 million to $263
million, and UASI is down to $600 million from $770 million. Combined, this would represent a total cut of $620 million from FY2007 levels, and an approximate 60% cut from
FY2004 funding levels, when these programs received more
than $3 billion in funding. NAPO will demand answers as to
why the administration continues to propose cuts in funding
for these and other essential state and local law enforcement
grant programs, especially since the importance of local law
enforcement in the fight against terror has not diminished
over the past four years.
For a complete breakdown of the President’s fiscal 2008
budget proposal for DHS programs please visit: http://www.
whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2008/pdf/appendix/dhs.pdf
NAPO POSITION As mentioned in last month’s Washington Report, the FBI released its semi‑annual Uniformed
Crime Report (UCR) on December 18, 2006, which stated
that there was a steep increase in violent crime in the first
half of 2006. These results follow the 2005 UCR, which
stated that the murder rate increased by 4.8 percent from
2004 to 2005 and that violent crime rates in general, which
included forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, as
well as murder, were up 2.5 percent. Up to this point, 2005
marked the highest rise in the crime rate in fifteen years.
This report makes clear that state and local law enforcement
needs the full support of the federal government to continue
fighting the war on drugs, protect our neighborhoods from
crime, and defend against terrorist threats. The last thing the
administration should be doing is gutting vital programs that
assist those who are our nation’s first line of defense against
crime and terrorism. NAPO will work tirelessly to ensure
that Congress rejects these proposed cuts in funding and restores full funding to all of these essential state and local law
enforcement programs. 

NOMINATION LETTER
Congratulations to our members.
We are proud of you!
Following is the nomination letter sent to NAPO for their
Top Cops Awards. Lieutenant Joseph Gorman, Detective
Gregory Jacobson, and Sergeant James R. Sanchez of the
Chicago Police Department were honored as recipients from
Illinois of the Top Cops Award at a Ceremony held May 12th
in Washington, D.C.
BACKGROUND
This investigation began as the Homicides attributed to
the New Breed and Vice Lords street gangs began to escalate
in 2006 as these gangs attempted to increase the territory
they could sell narcotics in.
Under the supervision of Lieutenant Joseph Gorman,
Gang Intelligence Unit, 25 police officers, detectives, and
sergeants were assigned to this investigation spanning three
shifts, 24 hours a day. At times additional manpower was
added by Area 4 Detectives and other Gang Intelligence
personnel. Investigative tools used were four pen registers,
four electronic surveillance orders, and 1 consensual overhear. Fixed and mobile surveillance of the targets and search
warrants were also used along with normal investigative
techniques. During the summer, several more homicides and
drive by shootings were linked to this gang war.
INVESTIGATION
On 18 September, two Electronic Surveillance orders
were signed for phones belong to high ranking members of
the New Breeds. Monitoring of these phones led to determine
the M.O. of these shootings. Stolen cars were always used
along with latex gloves, masks, and high powered rifles were
the weapon of choice. The gang used methodical surveillance of potential victims was used sometimes taking days
or weeks to develop a routine. On 27 October a member of
the New Breeds was killed while walking a ten year old girl
to school. Gang Intelligence personnel now prepared for the
retaliation. A recently stolen vehicle by the New Breeds was
located and kept under surveillance despite their attempts to
move it twice to shake any possible surveillance.
sembled his teams in covert and unmarked vehicles and prepared to follow the stolen vehicle.
While mobile, Lt. Gorman realized that school was close
to getting out and the Offenders were heading for a residential area. Lt. Gorman made the tactical decision to curb the
vehicle in a semi industrial area. He ordered all his units to
move in and surround the vehicle to prevent a vehicle pursuit. Lt. Gorman exited his covert vehicle wearing a CPD
raid hat and approached the vehicle on the driver’s side with
Sgt. Sanchez approaching on the passenger side. Both were
yelling “POLICE, Police turn off the car, let me see your
hands” Lt. Gorman heard the driver saying to the other occupants: Get them bitches” He also observed the driver wearing red latex gloves. The rear passenger was observed by Lt.
Gorman rising up with an AK47 type weapon and pointing
it at which time Lt. Gorman fired his weapon several times
in the direction of the offender. He then observed the driver
reaching into the waistband of his pants, at which time he
ordered him to show his hands and when he failed to comply
Lt. Gorman fired his weapon several time in the direction of
the driver. Seeing the rear passenger had still not released the
AK47 rifle, he fired his remaining rounds at him and stepped
back to reload after firing all 15 rounds. Assisting Officers
came forward and, after firing more shots, gun fire ceased.
CONCLUSION
Two of the offenders were killed, the back and front seat
passengers. The driver was severely wounded but survived
and is charged with several counts of murder and attempted
murder for this incident as are the two gang leaders who ordered the hit. Information from this incident also led to the
recovery of five additional AK47 type rifles. One of the assisting Officers sustained a gunshot wound to the hand.
A great job by all and an indescribable act of bravery by
Lt. Gorman. Post autopsy reports indicate Lt. Gorman hit
each Offender at least twice. Nine homicides have currently
been linked to these arrests and weapons recovery. 
INCIDENT
On 30 October, intercepted conversations revealed gang
members preparing to do a hit with gang members doing
street surveillance for the target. Teams assigned to watch
the stolen vehicle observed the three Offenders enter the
vehicle wearing rubber gloves and carrying weapons. Two
gang leaders identified a target in the area of Pulaski and
Iowa and ordered the hit via cell phone. Lt. Gorman had asThe Policemen’s Magazine • Summer, 2007

I
t’s getting to be that time again – summer, when we will
all want to be out fishing or whatever. However, here in
Rockford we are still struggling at resolving contractual
issues. With that thought, the entire membership of Unit #6
wishes to express our deepest sympathy to Eric Poertner and
his family at the untimely passing of his daughter. I hope
you all will consider contributing to the Trust Fund set up for
her one-year-old son. Contact Dianne Grey at the Springfield
office or myself for more information on this.
Retirements
Weighing in with 33 years and seven months, the most
SENIOR retirement this round, Sgt. Paul Triolo. Paul will
be finishing out his career assigned to the afternoon patrol
shift on May 4. Then we have a husband and wife duo, Walt
Grennan and Rosanne Baker. Walt ended his career with 33
years and five months while Rosanne pulled the plug with
20 years of service. Both worked in patrol upon retiring, as
did Officer Warren Lathom. Warren, an avid railroad buff,
parked his caboose after a flat run of 30 years. Congratulations to you all.
Promotions
Moving up is Randy Berke. Randy is now Sgt. Berke and
is presently overseeing our Community Services unit which
keeps him extremely busy. Good luck Randy and remember
- to flex or not to flex, that is the question.
New Hires
Now I have to admit here that I was amiss in the last issue
in naming some new Officers hired on 08/28/2006. Forgive
me guys and gals, and here goes. New to the rank are;
Katy Krietzmann, Michelle Bootz, Nathan Kohanyi,
Nicholas Contreras, Ryan Cory, Andrew Hartman, John
Johnson, Jeremiah Cizerle, Ashley Ware, Leanne Ness (Eliott Ness to those who work with her), Christopher Boeke,
Andrew Dobran, Erik Freese, Scott St.Vincent, and Brian
Strawser. Welcome aboard and good luck with your careers.
In closing, I would like to talk about my involvement
on the State Executive Board where I took over as Financial Secretary at the request of then Unit #6 President Doug
Block. This has been a very rewarding and educational experience. Because of my desire to continue my involvement
at the State level, I am announcing that I will be running
for Sergeant-at-Arms at the next convention. I realize being
involved is the key to helping and thus my desire to continue
on the Executive Board.
So feel free to stop in at my hospitality room and visit.
And I hope after doing so, you will consider voting for me.

29th Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 7, 2007.
Even though it took place on the coldest Egg Hunt

Everyone enjoyed themselves hunting for eggs, eating the
hotdog lunch provided and many won gift certificates and
other great prizes. Many in attendance made donations to
help with next year’s expenses. 

n behalf of the Chicago Police Sergeants’Association
I would like to extend our congratulations and best
wishes to the twenty-two Sergeants who retired in

were honored at our Annual Corned Beef and Cabbage

received a retirement star and a proclamation issued by the
Chicago City Council acknowledging their years of service
and dedication to the City of Chicago and its citizens.
On 16, January 2007, 50 recently promoted Officers were
sworn in as Sergeants. An open house was held at the Associations’ headquarters welcoming the new sergeants.
We will be hosting our annual golf outing on Monday,

go directly into our Death Benefit Fund which provides immediate monetary assistance to the families of active duty
sergeants who pass away before retirement. If anyone is interested in attending, please contact our office for details. 

inception. We grieve with him over the loss of his
daughter. Angie was just 27 years old and has left
behind her young son, Kenten. A Trust Fund has been
set up at Chase Bank in Springfield. Anyone wishing
to make a donation can send their check, made payable
to The Kenten Trust, to the Springfield Office at 435

Even More Merchandise
W
e are pleased to announce a new vendor
that will be providing more benefits for our
members. Carin’s Closet is taking over the
production of a majority of the PBPA Merchandise.
They have already provided polo shirts to the Executive
Board and we are very pleased with their efforts. You
will see an introductory letter from them along with
a few of the many items that they offer elsewhere in
this issue. We will be updating the website soon and
future issues of this magazine will contain even more
information about their offerings along with more
details about ordering from them. If there is anything
you need, please call them directly or, as always, you
can contact me in the Springfield office and I will be
happy to assist.
Even though Carin’s Closet will be handling the
clothing portion of our merchandise, several items are
still available through the Springfield Office. I will
continue to have the ball caps, duffel bags, lapel pins,
clocks, and stickers along with the afghans. I also
have some stock from the “old” embroidery vendor
on hand. In order to free up space, we will be offering these items to you at a discount while they last.

entering or enrolled in undergraduate studies.
2) Each year thereafter, four (4) additional scholarships shall be added until a total of sixteen(16) scholarships will be awarded by the
year 1998.
3) Once the sixteen (16) scholarships have been issued, the number of scholarships issued per year shall not exceed sixteen (16).
4) All applicants must be a son or daughter of a PB & PA member in good standing with the Association. The term “son or daughter”
shall be defined by the Scholarship Committee. The Scholarship Committee defines “son or daughter” to include stepson, stepdaughter, foster

5) The Scholarship Committee shall determine when all applications must be received and set forth when the award shall be issued.

9) Upon receipt of the scholarship, all scholarship recipients must complete at least twelve (12) hours of course work per semester.
Recipients failing to complete twelve (12) hours of course work per semester, or equivalent thereof, will not be issued payment for those

have their scholarship revoked. Any recipient who fails to complete two (2) twelve (12) hour semesters within two (2) consecutive years
from the date of the scholarship issuance, shall have their scholarship revoked. In either case, an alternate, selected by numerical rating and
validated by the Scholarship Committee for the current year in which the revocation would take place, shall receive the remaining term of the
original scholarship granted the primary recipient, provided the alternate meets all of the requirements at the time of such approval.
10) Scholarship recipients must maintain a “C” average each semester and provide the office of the Executive Director of the PB & PA
with a transcript of their grades each semester to maintain their scholarship, for a maximum of four (4) consecutive years.
11) Each scholarship recipient must provide proof of school registration or enrollment prior to receiving funding.

Bowling ... Bowling ... Bowling!
urora held our first Bowling Tournament on St.
Patrick’s Day. The day was a fun one for those
who attended. A good time and good food were
had by all. Thank you, thank you to the PBPA Executive
Board for the donations towards the food! We had two
bowlers, Jim Brown from Aurora, and Gordon Hannon
from Decatur, on their way to a perfect game with 9 strikes
in a row! As you’ll see, Gordon won that one, bowling
the Men’s high game of 278. Jim Brown ended up with
a 277. Kim Groom won for the Women’s with a 243.
Everyone won a little something back. Bowling doesn’t
seem to draw the numbers as do the Golf and Softball
tournaments. With hosting it for the first time, we weren’t
sure what to expect. A comment was made in reference to
this event being one for the “family” to enjoy. I think it
would be a great idea to make it more “family” oriented in
the future. Thanks to all who participated! 

2008 YOUTH GRANT APPLICATION
UNIT #:
Type of activity/program: Mailing address:
Time span of activity/program: Number of youths reached by activity:
Estimated total cost to your unit: Please provide details on the activity/program and the benefit to the youth in your community.
Amount of request: $ Signature of Unit Officer: Grants will be mailed upon receipt of your unit’s 2008 membership dues.
Mail or fax to:
PB & PA OF IL, 435 W. Washington Street, Springfield, IL 62702
FAX # 217/523-7677
DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 15, 2007
The grants must be used for a youth-oriented program sponsored by the local unit, such as athletic sponsorship,
educational programs, etc. The specific type of program must be listed on the application.
At the 1992 Convention, the State Executive Board made a recommendation that the Youth Grant should not be
used in conjunction with an agency-sponsored program. The Board felt that the intent of the grant is to provide assistance to the local PB & PA Unit, sponsored programs, and not to subsidize a program that is administered by a
governmental agency.
At the 1996 Convention, held in Champaign, a resolution was passed by the delegates present which raised the amount
of the grants. The resolution stated that local units can apply for a youth grant requesting up to $1,000.00.
If you have sent your request in, please double-check with the Springfield office. The master file will be kept at the
office in Springfield, and will then be brought to the convention for review by the Executive Board.
All applications must be returned to the address above by September 15, 2007. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me or the executive office in Springfield, 800-303-4531.
Fraternally,
