Citizens Appreciate Public Safety (CAPS)

Citizens Appreciate Public Safety (CAPS) is a Naperville community group that recognizes Fire and Police Department personnel for their contributions to the City. Throughout the year, Naperville residents are asked to nominate public safety employees who have displayed an interest in Naperville’s citizens in a manner above and beyond the call of duty, individuals who exhibited a genuine concern for the welfare and well-being of all Naperville citizens. Two annual presentations—one in the fall to recognize personnel in the Fire Department, and one in the spring to recognize individuals in the Police Department—are presented by the CAPS Board of Directors and generously hosted by Mesón Sabika.

The Annual Police Department Awards will be presented at 6PM Thurs., May 16. The awards ceremony again will held in the Pavilion at Mesón Sabika, 1025 Aurora Avenue. Tickets to the CAPS event are $45.
