Only police officers killed in the line of duty were mentioned at the ceremony, Deputy Chief Nick Zakula said. However, in 2020, the Niles police department also grieved the deaths of three of its members who were not on duty, which Zakula called a “tragic loss.”. The three had traveled there from Illinois to ride with the Thin Blue Line Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, which supports officers who have been seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
Alpogianis used his remarks to salute officers and applaud the winner of the Democratic primary for Cook County State’s Attorney, Eileen O’Neil Burke. “We pushed real hard to get elected,” Alpogianis said. “These guys that are coming out, spreading all this … they have to stay in jail. We want to make sure these tragedies are not happening any more.”
