Police Department but also have players who are members of the Cook County Sheriff’s Office
as well as other local law enforcement agencies. The Enforcers are a recognized 501c3
charitable organization and play to raise money for various local charities. Over their first
eleven seasons the Enforcers have raised approximately $130,000 for those charities. The
NPSFL plays full contact football following NCAA rules.

Merrionette Park, which starts at 3 pm.
