Citizens Appreciate Public Safety (CAPS) again hosted its annual dinner to honor outstanding members of the Naperville Fire Department in the Pavilion at Meson Sabika.
CAPS is a Naperville community organization “committed to recognizing and supporting the efforts of public safety personnel while actively enhancing community safety initiatives.”
For more than 20 years, CAPS has honored outstanding members of the Naperville Police in the spring and the Fire Department in the fall who go above and beyond their duties to ensure the well-being of all residents and visitors to Naperville.
Every year, CAPS welcomes members of the community to nominate public safety employees who have demonstrated exceptional service, professionalism and dedication to the community. Nominations may be submitted online.
For 2025, the Annual George Winckler Award went to Firefighter/Paramedic Philip Carmody.
