Nicol Walker

Officer Nicol Walker grew up in the Henry Horner Housing Projects of Chicago, and became the kind of police officer that made the neighborhood proud. He would council those he arrested and helped them turn their lives around. As a youth he had been falsely accused and detained by the police for a mugging, instead of having spite for the police, he made up his mind to become the best police officer he could be.

In 2009 he received the Crime Reduction Award and in 2015 a Unit Meritorious Performance Award at the Chicago Police Department. In 2016 he intervened to save the life of a school bus driver who had been hit by a stray bullet.

Chicago Joe would watch this video every day after his open heart surgery. Officer Jeff Troglia had such a positive effect on my then 5 year old son during his most trying time. This past Friday, he lost his life. I pray for him, his wife, his kids, his family and friends. 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/UgTtNSj9JI
