There was a fight between two people & someone reportedly yelled out “gun.” But don’t worry, our officers quickly responded & there was no actual person with a gun found. Ultimately, no shooting, no victims, & the issue has been resolved.

Our thoughts & prayers are with
@Chicago_Police
and the families of the two officers that were shot last night during a TRAFFIC stop. Officer Ella French succumbed to her injuries and her partner is still in critical condition at the hospital. 💔🙏💙
No shootings or major incidents on the Strip last night! And you know why? Because our cops are out there working hard to catch bad guys…like the criminals from Cali that were illegally walking around with these guns.

No, not the case. My officers were actually chasing a wanted & convicted felon that was illegally carrying a gun. But don’t worry, they caught him w/o anyone getting hurt. So, yeah, rewarding them with 🍩🍩🍩 would be more than appropriate 😁

Your info is correct. It was a fight & someone yelled out gun. No actual gun once we arrived. Good news is we had a lot of cops on scene quickly. All safe and let’s keep it that way!

The % is a bit misleading. It’s hard to compare to 2020 b/c it was a partial year for the Strip. There was 1 murder last year & tragically 10 this year. But most were off the Strip. Still bad but the good news is we’ve reduced our overall violent crime from +54% to only +8% since
One of our most important stops from last weekend! Not only did we catch two suspects illegally using these guns to sell weed on the street but one was also a known shooter. In fact, he had just been arrested last year for an illegal shooting.

An ex-felon from CA that was wanted for domestic violence cut off his ankle bracelet & fled to

That’s correct...a lot of trouble. Not only will we work hard to arrest but it’s likely they will be trespassed from all connected properties worldwide. Plus, it’s dangerous. A person drowned in 2020 trying something like this. So, please be safe!

No need, our officers took care of that. They had to break the window to rescue the puppies. Oh yeah, and the consequences will be on the owner.

Umm…jumping into the water features is dangerous & illegal. So please use the cooling stations or just go into one of the many air conditioned buildings along the Strip. That’ll save us from having to cite or use our ride share again 🚔🚨🚔
