Community Townhall Meeting - Area One

Bourbonnais Police invite village residents and businesses to attend Community Townhall Meetings on Wednesday, October 19, and Wednesday, October 26. The meetings are part of new safety initiatives spearheaded by Patrol Commander, Brent Barrie.

The goal of the townhall meetings is to bring Bourbonnais neighborhoods together to discuss interest in forming neighborhood watch groups, review different ways to heighten awareness, increase residential communications, address potential concerns and help prevent crime, together.

The Townhall Meetings will be held in the Community Room within the Bourbonnais Municipal Center at 700 Main St. NW. The Village of Bourbonnais is divided into four areas (see attached map) and residents are asked to attend the meeting specific to their designated area.
