Waukegan welcomes its new police chief, Elias Agalianos, a 26-year veteran who rose from patrol officer to deputy chief—now officially sworn in amid a thunderous ovation from over 250 supporters. Mayor Sam Cunningham called the turnout historic, praising Agalianos’ street-level credibility and community respect. Agalianos emphasized human connection as the cornerstone of policing: officers should know names, share meals, and build trust. He also honored his family’s sacrifices and shared a touching story about a colleague who joined the force to spend more time with him. Beyond leadership, he founded the Waukegan Police & Fire Memorial Fund, offering vital support to families of fallen first responders—a legacy of service and compassion.
