Police Officers' Benefit Saturday
An event that Galesburg Police officers admit sometimes flies below the radar is one that they hope doesn't happen this year.

This is the 67th year for the local Police Benevolent and Protective Association's annual Policeman's Ball, happening Saturday night from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

Galesburg Police officer Donivan Godsil is helping to organize the ball, and tells WGIL the public might not always realize it, but the ball is open to them.

"This is a public event, it's for the public to come out and kind of meet and greet with us, it's for the friends, the family, anybody that might be out in the town that just wants to come and meet us, it might be a good time to do that."

Godsil says admission is only a dollar, with proceeds going to the PB and PA. He says there is a 1980's theme this year, and the event is only for people 21 and over, with local band "Motorbiscuit" performing.
