“We Are One Community”
 Goodbye Officer Napier, Hello Officer Brooks!
Our current ward officer, Reggie Napier, will be retiring. Please join me in thanking Officer Napier for his service to the community and wishing him the best in the future.
Our new ward officer is Otha Brooks. Officer Otha Brooks joined the Evanston Police Department in 2004. He has worked all shifts with his longest tenure being on the midnight shift. Officer Brooks has held many roles within the police department including Evidence Technician, Rifle Officer, and Foot Patrol. He joined the Community Policing Unit in 2016 and has been involved in a variety of projects and community outreach events including National Night Out, the Citizen Police Academy, and Police Explorers. Officer Brooks is also a certified bike officer and can often be seen out patrolling the city and lakefront on his bicycle. He looks forward to serving the 2nd ward and getting to further know the citizens in the area.
