On a day where evil rose, the best of America responded. Be they 1st responders who ran in getting others to safety, to the everyday citizens who stepped up to save others...in every conceivable way; they became heroes. Though 20 years has passed since September 11, 2001, we must never forget. May all who lost their lives have rest and their memories be a blessing.

April is "National Distracted Driving Awareness Month," and the Calumet Park Police Department, through the Illinois Department of Transportation Distracted Driving Grant, will be conducting enforcement of the distracted driving laws throughout the month.
Motorists will see an increase in patrol and traffic stops targeting these laws.
So remember to use hands-free and Bluetooth devices or pull over to a SAFE location to take that important phone call or text message.
"Stay alive, don't text and drive!”
