Today, we remember a true public servant—Officer Joseph P. Cali, a Vietnam veteran and dedicated member of the Chicago Police Department. On May 19, 1975, while serving even on his day off, he was tragically taken from us in the line of duty.
His quiet courage, unwavering dedication, and ultimate sacrifice remind us that true leadership is shown through action—not rank.
You are not forgotten, Officer Cali. Your legacy lives on in every life you touched and protected.
💙End of Watch: May 20, 1975
