First Responder Profile: Retired Chicago Police Department
Sergeant Jerry Garcia

 

“So a team should be in the same colors. Doesn’t matter who the captain is or who’s in charge. We got our new motor jackets and if you notice, they all look the same. There’s no rank on those jackets, because we’re a team. And the public doesn’t need to know who the boss is and the public doesn’t care who the boss is. It’s about how you look and present yourself more than “look at me.”

It’s not individual stuff, it’s a team. Just like any team, if somebody’s messing up or looks bad, then we all look bad. The motor team was perfect for me. Everybody keeps their motor looking great. Our uniforms are always as good as they can be and that’s just my world. I’m all good with it. Everybody knew about being as on time as they could, parking the same way, taking off the same way and that worked out perfectly.”
