I found this old photo from the late 60's that I took for a photo class. We all remember being on midnights in the
winter and having to do building checks. I set this one up and the officer doing the check is Herman Carter.

An invitation is extended to all of our retirees who are in the area, to please
stop in and say hello. You have never been forgotten and your names have been engraved on a plaque which stands in the
hall of the police station. Your names and stories (many exaggerated) still echo in our hallways.

In the spring of 1982, Bruce Rappe got stuck while driving across Emily Park. He called
me and Len Ramirez to meet him Ch#4. He wanted us to push him out of the mud. We needed more help, so I called a few
others over to help push the car so the sergeant would not find out. Sergeant Lee Reiter thought the radio traffic sounded
suspicious so he showed up to see what we were up to. I ran back to my squad to get a picture, all the while Bruce was
swearing at me to put the *&%%^& camera away, or he was going to &*$%# it up my@#$...

Hank and Faye O'Connell were down to Branson for a Naval reunion so we were able
to get together for dinner. We always enjoy meeting with anyone who is down in our area for a visit and we are about 16
miles from Branson. Good seeing you all at the party.

The new Skokie Police Headquarters was recently used to film parts of a new TV series pilot titled Cooper & Stone,
starring Alex Breckenridge and Vanessa Ferlito. The new Skokie Police Headquarters was recently used to film parts of
a new TV series pilot titled Cooper & Stone, starring Alex Breckenridge and Vanessa Ferlito. e producers of
the show sought out the 7300 Niles Center Road Skokie Police headquarters due to its modern characteristics and proximity
to Chicago. Many areas of the new Skokie Police headquarters were used during filming including the evidence technician
area, locker room, interrogation rooms and the investigations area.
Skokie Police operations were not effected during filming. Future filming for Cooper & Stone will not
take place at the Skokie Police headquarters. If the pilot is picked up, parts of the Skokie Police headquarters used
for filming will be remade in a studio.

Important
news from Dan Ryan, Pension Trustee:
The
Skokie Police Pension Fund website has been shut down, so you can remove your link. The Trustees voted
to close it after a new state law requires all meeting minutes to be posted on a website if a governmental body hosts a website.
Our pension fund minutes include information on disability applicants and retiree's medical status as well as salary and pension
information on new retirees. Although this may be public record, we felt it was inappropriate to have that information accessible
to literally billions of people. So with regret it has been closed.

A Stewart Classic
You old timers out there remember the time Alexander Kloch was working on his Grand Torino in the P.D. garage
and the jack slipped, pinning him under the car. I was going through some old papers today and found a copy. It's
too good not to share. Enjoy,
