The 2026 Chicago Police Department St. Jude Memorial March will take place Sunday, 3 May 2026. Chicago Police Retirees have again been given their own marching contingent and area to assemble to be represented here, as in the past. The Chicago Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police invite all retirees to attend and participate in this time honored tradition to, 'Honor Our Fallen.'

Retirees will meet on Michigan Ave. just south of Superior. Extended family members and friends are welcome to view the march from the east/west curb area. The march will progress north on Michigan Ave and then west on Chicago Ave to Clark St. and 'steps off' promptly at 0800 hrs.

Since retirees are assigned to march at the beginning of the parade within the first few positions, normally behind the Gold Star family contingent, it is advised to arrive by 0700 hrs., to allow time to walk to the assembly area.

We ask that you again join your fellow members in the 'oldest and proudest tradition of the Chicago Police Department. Our continued participation in that 'Thin Blue Line' continues to send a message to the Gold Star Family members that the sacrifice of their loved one will always be remembered, and we hold true to our dedication and commitment to them that...

" WE WILL NEVER LET THEM WALK ALONE "
