Drive-through dinner supports Aurora canine unit
A drive-through restaurant of sorts will be setting up shop Tuesday at Aurora police headquarters, selling barbecue meals to benefit a new team joining the force this summer — a canine unit. The Citizen Police Academy Alumni of Aurora is staging a drive-through dinner event from 4 to 7 p.m. at 1200 E. Indian Trail Road to raise money for "wish list" items not included in the $260,000 budgeted for re-establishment of a canine unit.Last Updated May 20, 2013 9:00 AM -

Yet, these students never took classes at the school's campus in Romeoville.
