Officers will take part in the Cop on a Rooftop fundraiser starting at 5 a.m. and going to noon on Friday at the Dunkin’ location at 420 N. Galena Ave.

Rock Falls also has a Dunkin’, and as always, law enforcement from the city and the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office, including Sheriff John Booker, also will be on the rooftop at 1800 First Ave. You’ll know Booker when you see him, he’ll be the guy in the Superman costume.
