Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday assured 261 new police officers, “I will have your back” — and the rookies applauded when their mayor declared: “If you don’t live in the city of Chicago, you don’t have a right to talk about the city of Chicago.”
Presiding over his first police graduation ceremony, Johnson thanked the new officers for answering the call to serve and protect in what he called “some of the most difficult political times our city has ever experienced.”
