Family members as well as officers from both the police force and the Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Protection District were on hand to watch the honors prompting Community Relations Commission Chairman Chris Foltz to call it the “safest room in American.”

The promotions were not the only recognition bestowed Monday. Barbara Reich received the Village’s Community Service Award. She chairs Deerfield Family Days July 3 and 4, is active in the Deerfield Optimists and Relay for Life.
