Congratulations, Prophetstown PD's Officer Bolhous!

The Erie Police Department would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Prophetstown Police Officer Brice Bolhous on his successful graduation from the Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) Police Academy in Belleville, Illinois.

Officer Bolhous proudly received his academy certificate from Erie Police Officer Jordan Garrison, a representative of the EPD and the extended Bolhous family, during the ceremony.

We are confident that Officer Bolhous will continue to demonstrate the professionalism, integrity, and commitment that brought him to this achievement. We look forward to watching him grow in his law enforcement career and serving alongside him.

Congratulations once again, Officer Bolhous—we’ll see you out on the streets! Stay safe and stay proud.
