Thanks for all of the hard work and fun times, Carla! Enjoy your retirement!!

Friday, we said farewell and happy retirement to Carla who has spent the last 27 years with the City!! The last 13 years she has served in the Freeport Police Department. Her loving nature, energetic smile, and knowledge for the job will all be severely missed. Thank you Carla, and we wish you well in retirement!

Members of the FOP lodge were honored to participate in the 46th Annual Northern Illinois Police Memorial Week Remembrance Ceremony, sponsored by the Northern Illinois Multi-Jurisdictional Honor Guard. The FOP lodge made a donation to support this organization.

The Board of Directors consists of surviving family members, current and former law enforcement officers, current and former team members, chaplains representing member agencies, and supporting community members and citizens. Please visit the Northern Illinois Multi-Jurisdictional Honor Guard's website for more information about the organization and to find ways to aid it.
