Meet your commander – Melvin W. Branch
I grew up on the south side of Chicago and completed my master’s in education & psychology at Chicago State University. I enjoy traveling, bowling, and watching movies. I’m a 26 year veteran of CPD. My vision for the 3rd district is to partner with community leaders, clergy, and other stakeholders to bridge the gap between the community and the police. I look forward to serving the community.
