Read MoreHow sad it was today to learn of the passing of one of the best Sergeants that I had the pleasure to work for.
I spent many days with Sgt. Powers during his days at Area 4 Task Force and then many years at the Narcotic Section.
He will be missed by all those who knew him. My prayers go out to his beloved family.

I was so sorry to hear about Mr Powers. My parents Lorraine and Mac Mcgurn were his good friends for many years. He came to my dads service over a year ago and we got a chance to have a long talk. He was such a sweet and kind person. I hope he is at Peace now. My prayers and thoughts are with the whole family. laurie Mcgurn-Collard and the Mcgurn family

Sgt. Richard Powers was the longest sergeant to be in the Narcotics Section of the Chicago Police Department because of his great wisdom and knowledge. I was proud to have worked for him and learned much from him. He was a great loss to the CPD when he retired. He will always be remembered by those of us who worked in the Narcotics Unit. My sympathies are extended to the family now for your loss.
