Photos: Officers clean up park in Rock Falls

Jerrod Reynolds, Rock Falls police officer and Marine Corps veteran, puts a coat of paint on the bandshell at Veterans Memorial Park in Rock Falls. The park, plagued by vandalism and graffiti, has been an eyesore in the neighborhood for far too long. Reynolds, along with fellow officers and veterans Kristian Montanez and Dustin Sugars, took the first step towards rehabbing the place Tuesday Nov. 9, 2021, with paint donated by Sherwin Williams.
