Chief Roberts and Deputy Chief Abruzzo would like to thank Illinois State Senators DeWitte and Syverson, and Representatives Ugaste and Keicher, for the invitation to attend their First Responders Roundtable for Police and Fire.

The roundtable provided an opportunity to discuss important issues impacting first responders every day and the challenges facing our communities. Meaningful conversations like these are an important step toward developing legislation that supports and addresses the needs of those who serve.

We appreciate their commitment to listening to first responders and working together to make a difference.
