Do know an officer that cracks everyone up at the station house, on a stakeout or the neighborhood block club party?

Laugh Factory is launching its third annual search for Chicago’s Funniest Police Officer. “Laugh Patrol” is open to Chicago’s finest in all 23 districts. The “all-cop comedy” will be hosted by Harvey native and Frank Sinatra’s opening act, comedian Tom Dressen.

During the evening, 20 to 50 officers will have 3-5 minutes on the world famous stage to serve up some laughs for the community. All of the night’s proceeds will go towards the 100 Club of Chicago.

Contestants will be judged by a panel of professionals, and the winner will receive $1,000 worth of Laugh Factory gift certificates to distribute as well as an Apple Watch courtesy of Country Financial.

Second and third place finishers will receive vouchers worth $500 and $100, respectively.

Laugh Patrol gets underway at 8 p.m. September 22, at the Laugh Factory, 3175 N. Broadway, Chicago.
