Taylor Ward

Police Recruiter

I have proudly served with the Chicago Police Department for seven years, working in the 005th and 019th Districts as a patrol officer before joining the Extradition Unit, where I processed warrants and supported department operations. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and am honored to continue my father’s legacy in law enforcement. I’m passionate about helping others and strive to bring empathy, integrity, and service to everything I do. As a mother to a two-year-old son, I understand the importance of resilience, hard work, and sacrifice, and I carry those values with me both on and off duty.
