Hundreds of Security Officers Rally for a Safe Chicago
Aldermen, State Legislators and Religious Leaders Join the Call for Downtown Commercial Landlords to Protect Chicago
More than 300 security officers and supporters rallied Saturday and
marched through downtown to call on owners and managers of commercial office buildings to protect Chicago by investing in security.
“Security officers are expected to know how to protect the public and the valuable buildings where we work – which is a lot of responsibility – but we aren’t valued,” said Teresa Sanchez, who has been a security officer at 161 N. Clark for 10 years. “How can Chicago expect to keep good officers who take their jobs seriously, if we don’t reward them equal to their responsibility?”
