Letter: Service officers were a source of pride

I want to commend two community service officers, CSO, Aquino and CSO Mendoza.

I was driving home on Northwest Highway near Central when I got a flat tire. I pulled over and called my tow service and waited, and waited and waited. The two officers arrived and parked behind me with their lights on to alert other cars. After waiting and realizing my tow company wasn't coming, they proceeded to change my tire.

I loved Mount Prospect for the 40 years we lived there and always believed in the village motto, "Where friendliness is a way of life." This incident just reinforced my pride in our former home. Kudos to the Mount Prospect police. This 80-year-old lady really appreciates their kindness.
