Groundbreaking for Law Enforcement Memorial May 19

The Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police will be holding a short groundbreaking ceremony for the upcoming construction of the Kendall County Law Enforcement Memorial.

The event will be held at the memorial site located in front of the Kendall County Courthouse, just west of the main entrance, at 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 19.

Invitees include members of the Kendall County Judiciary as well as the Kendall County Board due to their continued support of this project. The public is welcome to attend this event.

The Chiefs Association has been working on developing a memorial since 2013. In addition to honoring those who have lost their lives in the line of duty in Kendall County law enforcement agencies, the memorial would be a general memorial to all officers who die while on duty.

Additional fundraisers are being planned for the project, and donations earmarked for the police memorial can also be sent to the Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police, P.O. Box 743, Yorkville, Illinois, 60560.
