Community Gathers to Honor the Memory of Police Commander John Kupczyk

Earlier today, Chicago Police officials, elected officials, clergy and members of the community joined the Kupczyk family to unveil new street signs that give honorary designation (Commander John Kupczyk Way) to a block of 63rd Street, directly in front of the CPD Eighth District Station.

The Southwest Chicago Post was on hand to help capture the ceremony (in photo and video) to honor the late Commander Kupczyk, a good and decent man---liked, respected and admired by so many.
