Jeff “Trogs” Troglia served for twelve years as a Chicago Police Officer.
Chicago Joe would watch this video every day after his open heart surgery. Officer Jeff Troglia had such a positive effect on my then 5 year old son during his most trying time. This past Friday, he lost his life. I pray for him, his wife, his kids, his family and friends. 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/UgTtNSj9JI
