DescriptionUnveiling of the flag of the Chicago Police Department, c. 1977.jpg |
English: Unveiling of the flag of the Chicago Police Department, 1977. In early 1976, the idea of a Police flag was submitted to the Research and Development Division (R&D) by Patrolman Charles E. Springer of the 4th District, a 15 year veteran with the Chicago Police Department. Approved by Superintendent James M. Rochford, the suggestion was assigned to three R&D analysts to develop: Sergeant Frank Kohnen, Sergeant Howard Knight and Patrolman Jack Pecoraro. Kohnen, Knight and Pecoraro made a number of sketches as to what they felt the flag should contain and these were turned over to Otis Rathel, Commanding Officer of the Graphic Arts Section. Rathel made a final artist rendering and which was submitted to the Superintendent, who approved its design. The design was then given to a flag manufacturer to be produced. In April of 1977, the flag was unveiled during ceremony and it became the first official flag of the Chicago Police Department. |
