Chicago Police Department

Mary Bouchard

I called and requested a well being check for a friend who had not responded to a number of attempts to reach her. I was worried for her safety. The police went to her home. My friend was ok. She called me after they checked on her. Thank you officers. God Bless you.

I remember the first time they picked me up on a bench warrant like yesterday, I heard the knock on my door (not too loud, it was soft as if a neighbor was knocking) but I knew exactly who it was as I had a court appearance a few hours before, I rushed to throw on a long sleeve shirt, comfy sweat for the night in the cell sure does get cold, I answered the door shortly after and they politely told me that they had a warrant for my arrest, I told them "I know" they didn't handcuff me, they played the songs on YouTube like I requested and they even got me a cheeseburger meal from McDonald's, it's been a long time since I've gotten into trouble but if I were to have a preference on where I'd like to get arrested it....it would deff be this police station.

I got pulled over and was given a safety check because of a near accident I was almost in they were just checking to see if I was okay but it turned out I have a 37 year old misdemeanor warrant in Michigan so they held me until they could clear up whether they were going to extradite me. I was held for a few hours waiting for a response.Turned out that they didn't. I was cooperative, polite and nice to the cops and they were polite and nice to me back, one of the officers was kind enough to drive my car over to the police station instead of having it towed and impounded like they could have. Was treated about as good as you can be treated in this kind of a situation and it's much appreciated to be able to keep your dignity and to be treated with respect despite the possibility of arrest. High marks for all the officers that I met tonight I wish I could remember their names and give them the credit they deserve. Police are just doing their job and these guys are doing it proficiently professionally, sympathetically and without treating someone disrespectfully in any way shape or form. Many thanks and kudos! these guys are terrific I wish this was my neighborhood. It's strange to say but I'm happy this happened tonight it's kind of restored my faith in mankind.

I was arrested on an invalid and illegal warrant from California at O'Hare coming back into the country from abroad. After I explained how I was being harassed by the police in Southern California, the officers really went out of their way to be sympathetic, professional and helpful.
