The 100 Club of Chicago, a nonprofit organization that helps the families of police officers, firefighters and paramedics who lost their lives in the line of duty, released a PSA featuring six Chicago-born actors who are well-known for playing cops on television and in film.

Tom Dreesen, Dennis Farina, Dennis Franz, Joe Mantegna, William Petersen and Gary Sinise taped the PSA in December. The photo above will start showing up on billboards across the city shortly.

As for the PSA itself, it's brief and effective. (It's also worth noting that Farina used to be a Chicago police officer.)
