Fraternal Order of Police Chicago president Dean Angelo told ABC7 on Sunday that he will be in Washington this week for high-level meetings with Justice Department officials and for a meeting with President Donald Trump.
Angelo and Trump have something in common: they both frequently talk about Chicago’s staggering crime problem, especially the spike in murders last year and what seems to be a increasingly bloody crime blotter.
Angelo said that his trip to Washington this week grew out of the annual FOP “Day on the Hill” that is sponsored by the union each winter. The 2017 consortium with Members of Congress occurred February 13-15. “I was invited to continue in a way that gets our message out” he said.
The meeting with President Trump may come as early as Tuesday.
