Project Blue Lights

A holiday message from the Chicago Police Department:

Across the United States, 150 police officers have died in the line of duty this year.  The Chicago Police Department alone has lost 5 police officers in the line of duty.  During this holiday season, let’s honor our fallen officers by participating in Project Blue Lights.   Through this program, citizens are encouraged to display blue lights in their holiday decorations to remember law enforcement officers who have fallen, as well as those working tirelessly to keep all of us safe.  Let’s show our support!
