"While our cars say something about our personality, they are also tools we use to get a job done. One of those jobs is police work, and sometimes the police cars can be just as unique as our own personalities and the jobs they need to do," wrote Palos Park Police Chief Joe Miller.  "We designed car 2014 to recognize our Centennial year and promote what Palos Park is about.  A true image of America, Palos Park!"
