Longtime Beverly neighbor and 22nd District community relations sergeant Marty Gainer will turn in his star a week from today, when he closes the chapter on three generations of Gainers in the Chicago Police Dept.

Having returned to the 22nd District in 2007, he has served as community relations sergeant since May 2009, when he replaced Sgt. Mike Casey. He also has worked as a liaison between the police and community groups on events rangign from the Beverly Breast Cancer Walk to the annual Ridge Run.
