NOBLE Chicago Offers Reward in Officer Bailey Shooting
NOBLE (National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives) Chicago Metro Chapter is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction for those responsible for the murder of Chicago Police Officer Michael Bailey which occurred on July 17, 2010 in the vicinity of 74th and Evans in Chicago, IL.
Anyone with information regarding this community tragedy, should contact the Chicago Police Department’s Area Two Detectives at (312) 747-8272.
“Our city has suffered the consequences of reckless violence in the loss of Officer Bailey, who exemplified civic service and integrity in his career, community and family” Chief Eugene Williams, Chicago Metro Chapter President said in announcement of the reward. NOBLE Chicago Metro Chapter joins the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #7, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in offering a total reward of up to $65,000 for information leading to the capture of the killers of Officer Bailey.
The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) was founded in September1976, during a three day symposium to address crime in urban low income areas. The symposium was co-sponsored by the Police Foundation and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). The Joint Center for Political Studies (JCPS) coordinated this unprecedented event in which sixty (60) top-ranking black law enforcement executives representing twenty-four (24) states and fifty-five (55) major cities gathered in the Washington, D.C. area to participate. They exchanged views about the critically high rate of crime in black urban communities and the socioeconomic conditions that lead to crime and violence. They raised questions about relevant issues such as fairness in the administration of justice, police community relations, the hiring and promotion of black police officers, and the unique problems of the black police executive.
