POSTED: 05.01.08
In April 2008 the department received three backpacks from the "With Wings and a Halo" organization. Each "B.A.C.K. Packet" as they are called has a variety of books for children. We also had many stuffed animals and beanie babies donated to us years ago, but to this point we have not had a feasible way of deploying them into the public.
These backpacks are located in each patrol vehicle. When officers find themselves in a crisis incident where children are involved, they can use the backpacks to help ease the pain these children may face by giving them a book or stuffed animal.

MERITORIOUS CONDUCT AWARD
POSTED: 09.10.2007
On Monday September 10, 2007 during the Kronenwetter Village Board meeting Chief Joling and Kronenwetter President Rick Smith awarded Field Training Officer Luis Lopes-Serrao with the "Meritorious Conduct Award" for his actions during an officer involved shooting on June 17, 2007.
He responded to the Village of Rothschild after he heard a call for help from Rothschild Officer Trevor Ostrowski after he had just been attacked by a gunman with a assault rifle on a traffic stop, near Business 51 & Alexander Avenue.
Lopes-Serrao responded to assist in the vehicle pursuit and laid down spike strips to immobilize the vehicle. The suspect then fired rounds at Lopes-Serrao, who then returned fire at the suspect. The suspect was later captured. |
