These future therapy dogs spent the day throughout the academy, giving recruits and staff a moment to reset, recharge, and connect.

Two of these dogs will soon join the Chicago Police Department as therapy dogs, continuing their journey of service in a new way.

Last week, assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) visited the Chicago Police Department Training and Support Group at the Academy.

During their visit, assessors reviewed four key areas of training: the Annual Needs Assessment, Instructor Academy, Active Threat and Incident Response, and Crowd Management.

CALEA accreditation is widely recognized as the gold standard in public safety, highlighting agencies that meet rigorous professional standards in policy, training, and accountability. The Chicago Police Department previously received accreditation in 2020 and 2022; however, this visit marked the first in-person assessment at the Academy due to COVID-19 restrictions during prior reviews.

The assessment reflects the Departmentโ€™s continued commitment to professional standards and providing high-quality training for the officers who serve the City of Chicago.

Friday Flag is more than a ceremony. It is a promise.

A promise that we will speak their names.
A promise that we will remember their service.
A promise that their sacrifice will always be honored.

Last week, during our weekly Friday Flag ceremony, we honored fallen officer Detective Allan Reddins, Star #442, a five-year veteran of the Oak Park Police Department, joined by his family and fellow officers. In unity and respect, we stood together to ensure his legacy lives on.

Controlled discomfort. Preparing for real situations.

OC exposure is designed to test more than tolerance. It tests composure, communication, and control under stress.
