Burr Ridge swears in three new police officers; clerk promotes Sept. 20 MECCA Moves 5K
Summary
Chief Loftus introduced three new police officers — Alex Perez, Hamza Yaqub and Justin Reammo — and the clerk announced the MECCA Moves 5K on Sept. 20; no public comments were recorded at the meeting.
The Village of Burr Ridge opened a ceremonial portion of its Aug. 25 meeting to introduce three new police officers. Chief Loftus told the board and attendees he was "glad to introduce" Alex Perez, Hamza Yaqub and Justin Reammo; he noted Alex and Hamza will attend the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy starting Sept. 1 and that Justin will begin field training immediately afterwards.
Clerk Anita announced the MECCA Moves 5K run scheduled for Sept. 20 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. and encouraged residents to participate. The mayor and trustees also shared brief reports about community events, including a recent U.S. Navy band performance that drew a positive response.
Why it matters: The hires add to the police department roster and the academy attendance date indicates the timeframe for their formal training. The community-run 5K is a local outreach and fundraising event often of interest to residents.
What’s next: The introductions were followed by photos and refreshments; the board recorded no public comment during the meeting before moving to reports and an executive session.
