"I am pleased to announce that the City of Chicago has reached a tentative agreement with the Chicago FOP on a contract for their members. We believe this is a fair and responsible agreement -- respectful of the hard work performed by the men and women of the Chicago Police Department to keep our residents safe, and respectful of Chicago's hard-working taxpayers. I want to thank President Dean Angelo and the FOP leadership for their efforts at the bargaining table and their commitment throughout this process.”
