Chicago police were investigating the alleged roles of officers at the Guide Sports Club party that violated COVID regulations

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

Guide’s sports club in the city’s southwest Garfield Ridge neighborhood was cited last month for COVID-19 violations at that party.

An anonymous complaint claimed the party was for a retiring commander.

In a statement, the Chicago police department said “this incident is being taken seriously” and “department members who are deemed to have violated the city’s COVID orders will be held responsible.”

The city of Chicago has cited more than 300 companies for violating various 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, the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection said. If a company repeatedly fails to comply with the regulations, it may face prolonged closure of the establishment.
