CHICAGO — Memorial Day is quickly approaching, but with the recent summer-like weather, folks are already getting outside to soak up some sun.

But as people look to take advantage of the warm and sunny weather, safety can become an issue and Chicago police say they are taking steps to make sure everyone stays safe.

Officials from the Chicago Police Department say they are paying special attention to the beaches and lakefront and will also have additional resources assigned to the areas, once the beaches open on Friday.

WGN-TV’s Brónagh Tumulty spoke with some who were making the most of Tuesday’s mild weather and offered details on CPD’s plan.

Instagram confirms test of 'unskippable' ads
Instagram confirmed it's testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media. The change would see the social network becoming more like the free version of YouTube, which requires users to view ads before and in the middle of watching videos. It makes sense that Instagram would consider going this route, too, given that it has also shifted over the years to become more of a video-sharing network, thanks to features like Stories and Reels, rather than a place to only share still photos.
