Trustee Bruce Quintos

Trustee Bruce QuintosBruce Quintos was born and raised on the "West Side" of Chicago by his Filipino & Irish parents Salvador and Diane. He attended Precious Blood Grammar School and later St. Mary Star of the Sea. Bruce graduated from St. Rita High School in 1967 and moved to Chicago Ridge in 1976.

Bruce recently retired as a career policeman, starting in Chicago Ridge and then the Cook County Forest Preserve Police.

Bruce and his wife Dawn have two teenage daughters, Stephanie and Ryan.

Bruce is the Pipe Major and Music Director for the Pipes and Drums of the Emerald Society, Chicago Police Department.

Bruce's main goal is to insure that Chicago Ridge remains a safe and secure environment to raise a family and retire with dignity.

The Special Olympics motto is "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." 

In 1994 I had a life changing experience when I met a Special Olympics Athlete and her father. I had never before seen such commitment and bravery as displayed by her. I sought out information on Special Olympics and was fortunate enough to find and bond with other Police Officers who had similar experiences. I never looked back. This wonderful organization and cause has changed my life. We are committed supporters but we need your help. Please join us in our journey!
The Law Enforcement Super Polar Plunge for Special Olympics!
    
On Friday and Saturday, February 25th and 26th, Chicago Ridge Police Officer Ken Norbut and myself will jump into FREEZING Lake Michigan 24 times in 24 hours in support of Special Olympics. The last 4 years the temperatures fell to 25 degrees below zero! We will not be alone. Ken and I will plunge with 24 Brother and Sister Police Officers and friends of Special Olympics. I will be representing the Pipe and Drums of the Emerald Society, Chicago Police and Ken will represent the men and women of the Chicago Ridge Police Department. I have been participating in the Special Olympics Torch Run and Polar Plunge for many years and have been a "24 times in 24 hours" Super Polar Plunge since it's inception 6 years ago. I welcome my friend Ken "The Iceman" Norbut to his first Super Polar Plunge!
