Chicago Police investigating alleged police functions at the Guide’s Sports Club party that violated COVID regulations

CHICAGO (WLS) – Chicago police have opened an internal investigation into the role of some policemen at a bar party.

Guide’s Sports Club in the city’s Southwest Side Garfield Ridge neighborhood was cited last month for COVID-19 violations at that party.

An anonymous claim said the party was for a retired commander.

In a statement, the Chicago Police Department said it “takes this incident seriously” and “Members of the department who violate the city’s COVID orders will be held responsible”.

The city of Chicago cited more than 300 companies for violating several COVID-19 regulations since the pandemic began, officials said earlier.

Companies cited for violating COVID-19 restrictions can receive two citations with a potential fine of up to $ 10,500, said the Department of Commercial Affairs and Consumer Protection. If a company repeatedly violates regulations, they may face prolonged closure.
