The Palos Park Police Department Bike Patrol is out around town. Be sure to say hello when you see them. Summer and warmer temperatures are perfect for deploying bike patrols to perform vital roles in patrolling areas that traditional patrol vehicles cannot. Officers on bicycles are going more slowly and are able to see and hear things that they may not pick up when in a patrol car. |

Better Business Bureau and ComEd Team Up to Keep Customers Safe
With the gradual lifting of COVID-19 safety restrictions, ComEd and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Chicago and Northern Illinois remind customers to be on the lookout for utility company imposters approaching homes and businesses to steal information and valuables.
"As customers become more comfortable talking with people outside their household, you can bet that imposters will take advantage of this opportunity to approach people at home in an attempt to steal their personal information, financial information, or even their belongings," said ComEd's vice president of customer channels. Many times this is an attempt to lure a resident outside of their home while another accomplice enters the home to steal valuables and personal or financial documents.
