The Cook County Sheriff’s Office will show us what it’s like to put on the uniform to serve and protect our community in really unique ways. Show your respect and gratitude to the men and women who risk their lives to keep you safe. Learn about what their typical day is like and hear about some crazy-but-true stores in law enforcement. Check out the inside of a bomb truck and meet a robot that does amazing things. Try on a bullet-proof vest too. We may even be visited by a bomb-sniffing dog! Are you interested in pursuing a career as a police officer or criminal justice? Get connected with these great professionals to see how you can proudly wear the badge one day, too!
All Community Connections programs are sponsored in part by Old National Bank.
Programs in the Life Skills Workshop are sponsored in part by Bettenhausen Auto.

Out of respect to our volunteers, please be sure you can attend the programs you sign up for. Confirmation calls or text messages are made 48-72 hours prior to every program. If you do not respond to our confirmation call within 24 hours of the program, a student on the waiting list will fill your spot. If a student is a "no show" for 2 or more programs, they will be automatically placed on the waiting list for other programs they have signed up for during that semester. 48 hours notice is required for all cancellations.
