Officer Maize visits Willowbrook
Today Glenview Police Department School Resource Officer David Maize visited the preschool and kindergarten classes at Willowbrook. He was named the department's new resource officer this fall, and he spent time getting to know the children, answering their questions about being a police officer, sharing safety tips and letting them check out his police cruiser. Thank you, Officer Maize, for making meaningful connections with our students!
