Police Officer Andres Vasquez-Lasso
End of Watch: March 1, 2023
He died while protecting Chicago and its people. We will never forget his selflessness and dedication as we continue to wrap our arms around his family and loved ones.
Together, we mourn the loss of our hero.
Due to the investigative skills of the officers assigned to Beat 1633, a semi- automatic rifle, semi- automatic pistol, and narcotics were recovered from the 5500 block of West Barry. The offender is in custody and charged with Armed Violence and a Narcotics Violation.
Today we announce the retirement of Officers Rene Arriazola and Kenny Varchetto. With 24 and 27 years of experience we lose so much experience but we wish them well in their future endeavors.
