End of Watch

In 2011 Arts Alive Chicago was contacted with a request to paint a mural to honor an officer killed in the line of duty. When seeking permission from then Alderman John Arena we were instructed to honor all the officers who died in the line of duty. Jill Arena designed the mural with all 540+ names, Cyd Smillies led the paint team with some community volunteers. The bagpipe dedication included 16th and 17th district officers and commanders, families of fallen officers, and dignitaries. Officers and families were invited to fill in the badge numbers of their fallen loved ones. This mural features an officer saluting and grieving woman with the image of officer Flisk in her tear.
