Decent: Special act of kindness done by a Naperville police officer deserves a special kind of recognition

If you watch TV shows like “Chicago P.D.” and “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,” you might think the average day in the life of a cop involves high-speed car chases, dramatic confrontations, and life or death decisions.

While things like this do happen in Naperville, and our police are certainly as brave as any you might see on television, these are not daily occurrences.

In our town, first responders are more likely to spend part of their day doing wellness checks, which is not to say that’s not just as important as chasing bad guys.
