Kids' Bike Helmets Still Available from Palos Park Police

Palos Park Police are again offering free bicycle safety helmets to children in Palos Park. Chief Joe Miller said the helmets are a preventative measure in conjunction with the National Children-N-Safety Program.

Head injuries and falls from bicycles are often times the main reason children visit emergency rooms during the summer months. Palos Park Police hope that by issuing the helmets they can prevent head injuries to children riding bicycles.

All members of the Palos Park Police Bicycle Patrol Unit wear their bike helmets any time they ride. Helmets can be picked up at the Palos Park Police Department 8999 W. 123rd Street.
