Honoring Our Four-Legged Heroes 🐾🇺🇸

Today, on K9 Veterans Day, we recognize the courage, loyalty, and service of military working dogs past and present. These incredible K9s have served alongside our troops, detecting explosives, tracking enemies, and protecting their handlers with unwavering dedication.

From battlefields to search-and-rescue missions, their impact is immeasurable. Join us in honoring these brave canines and their handlers who put it all on the line for our safety and freedom.

🐶🎖️ Thank you, K9 veterans! 🎖️🐶

Spring Forward & Stay Safe! ⏰

Don't forget—Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday, March 9th! 🌞 Set your clocks ahead one hour before bed on Saturday night so you're ready to spring forward!

This is also the perfect time to test and replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors—a quick check could save a life. 🚨

Fun Fact: Did you know Daylight Savings Time was first introduced in the U.S. during World War I to conserve energy? Now, it gives us more daylight in the evening as we head into spring!

We offer prayers for a speedy recovery for a police officer from our neighboring Cicero Police Department who was shot and wounded on duty last night.

In a short time span we have experienced the line of duty death of Oak Park Police Detective Reddins who was shot and killed on duty, River Forest and Berwyn Police officers shot at on duty in seperate incidents, Chicago Police Office Enrique Martinez shot and killed on duty, and now a Cicero Police Officer shot and wounded on duty.

Enough is enough.

We stand ready to support the Oak Park Police Department during this unthinkable time.

Det. Reddins will never be forgotten.

The Berwyn Police Department extends our most heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of Oak Park Police Department Detective Allan Reddins. We are saddened by this tragic loss and share the sorrow felt by the entire Oak Park Police Department and community. Yesterday, Berwyn Police officers lended assistance with responding to calls in Oak Park while the Oak Park Police Department began to process the loss of their brother in blue.

Policing carries with it the burden that at any moment an officer may sacrifice their own life to save another. The people who are called to this job knowingly accept these risks everyday, choosing to walk into danger to protect others. Detective Reddins paid the ultimate sacrifice; one that we must always respect and never forget.

Sincerely,
Michael D. Cimaglia
Police Chief
Berwyn Police Department

The Village of Oak Park extends its deepest condolences to Detective Reddins’ family, friends and colleagues within the Oak Park Police Department and the wider law enforcement community as they process the grief caused by this senseless act of violence.
