Who We Are
Chicago Patrolmen’s
has been serving the financial needs of Chicago Police Officers and their
families since 1938. The credit union
was initially formed when members of the Chicago Patrolmen’s Association
decided to pool their financial resources for the betterment of all.
When Chicago Patrolmen’s was first established in 1938, it was very much a “blue shirts” organization, with membership open only to police officers “on the beat” and their immediate family members. By 1949, Chicago Patrolmen’s had grown to over $1 million dollars in assets. During this period, the credit union’s Board of Directors implemented a “once a member, always a member” policy. This membership policy permits members to maintain their Chicago Patrolmen’s Credit Union accounts when they move up in the ranks, or retire. Both of these policies continue to be critical to the growth and success of the credit union.
Chicago Patrolmen’s is and always has been administered by a Board of Directors consisting entirely of current and former Chicago police officers.
Today, Chicago Patrolmen’s serves police officers of all ranks—from the newest recruits to the Superintendent of Police, as well as police family members. We also serve the financial needs of full-time Chicago Police Department Personnel, the Employees of the Office of Emergency Management Communications, and their families. Chicago Patrolmen’s serves over 21,000 members.
We have grown rapidly and now have assets in excess of $350 million. Despite our growth, Chicago Patrolmen’s mission remains the same as it was in the beginning: “serve the financial needs of all Chicago Police Officers and their families in order to help them realize their life’s goals.” Everyday, Chicago Patrolmen’s strives to fulfill its mission by providing members with competitive financial products and services that facilitate borrowing, promote thrift, and encourage wise money management.
Chicago Patrolmen’s is a full service financial institution. We offer a full complement of lending and savings products as well as a host of additional services.
In addition to all its traditional financial services, Chicago Patrolmen’s offers personalized service to each of its over 21,000 members. The Board, Management, and Staff of the credit union strive to help members in any way we can. We make every effort to listen to our member’s concerns, save them money and provide them with financial knowledge and education.
As current members, we welcome you and thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your family’s financial needs.
