The Chicago Police Department has issued detailed instructions for media coverage around the services honoring fallen Officer Enrique Martinez. According to the
official advisory
, the visitation will take place on Sunday, November 17 from 3:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at Blake-Lamb Funeral Home, with specified parking for media at 103rd Street and Keating Avenue. The CPD underscores the importance of media presence being non-intrusive, particularly with regard to those in attendance seeking privacy during their time of mourning.
The funeral is set for the following day, Monday, November 18, at 10:00 A.M. at the St. Rita of Cascia Shrine Chapel, where a pool camera will provide footage and a feed made available through the Chicago Switch. According to the CPD, a single broadcast truck per outlet is allowed in the designated parking area and News Affairs will help orchestrate parking and setup. They also note that interior access to the chapel service is restricted to close friends and family to manage space and respect for the gathering – a live stream on CPD social media platforms will be offered as an alternative for the media and the larger public.
Furthermore, the department will organize a media staging area where select family members, friends, and police personnel may opt to share their reflections on Officer Martinez with the press. This will take place after the church service is concluded, ensuring those willing to share their stories can do so in an organized and respectful environment.
