Palos West Students Win Ride To School In Cop Car

Makenna and Nolan Beatty were the winners of the "Win A Ride To School" in a cop car.

PALOS PARK, IL -- Makenna and Nolan Beatty rode in style to Palos West Elementary School by hitching a ride with Palos Park police. The youngsters arrived at school with lights flashing and the siren wailing. Makanna and Nolan were winners of the PFA raffle.

“The ‘Ride to School’ raffle is a way for families and kids in Palos Park to be comfortable and feel safe around police officers, and what kid isn’t curious about the inside of a police car,” Palos Park Commissioner Dan Polk said.
