Bolingbrook's Squad Car Night Draws Huge Crowds

The 3rd Annual Squad Car Night in Bolingbrook was a tremendous success! Departments and vehicles from all around Chicagoland joined the event. The greater Bolingbrook community loved the event atmosphere which had police officers and emergency management officials interacting directly with families and children. The event was all in memory of Bolingbrook Officer Stephen Alexander, the event's co-founder and inspiration.
