Happy Juneteenth! A day to celebrate freedom and to reflect on work yet to be done. June 19th recognizes the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, celebrates African American culture & should be cause for all Americans to reflect on the meaning of freedom to our nation.

STOP👏BRINGING👏ILLEGAL👏GUNS👏TO👏PARK👏FOREST👏 Over the past week, Park Forest Officers have recovered four firearms from three separate incidents, which resulted in numerous arrests including two juveniles and one adult being charged with Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon.

We are under a severe weather alert due to unhealthy air quality thanks to wildfire smoke from Canada. Experts recommend limiting time outdoors. Effectively immediately, the PFPD is canceling all crime. We ask all criminals to stay indoors & refrain from being goofy. K.Thx.Byeee!

Before we get to the festivities, we'd like to you remind you that the freedoms we celebrate today don't include your choice to drive impaired. If you find yourself having drinks or using cannabis, get a ride. If you feel different, you drive different.

Only 2 occasions for which it is acceptable to see the Green Bay Packers represented on our social media: when the Bears stomp them & on Detective Tim Jones' birthday! To our favorite PFPD team member who supports our least favorite team: Happy Birthday, Detective! #timstrong204
