KCC announces Rittmanic/Bailey scholarship winners

Kankakee Community College has announced they’ve awarded the first Rittmanic Bailey Law Enforcement Scholarships. The 55-hundred-dollar scholarships were awarded to Nanci Ramierez of Momence and Abigail Swartzentruber of Manteno. Both are enrolled at KCC and pursuing careers in law enforcement and criminal justice. The Rittmanic Bailey scholarship was created in honor of the late Bradley Police Sergeant Marlene Rittmanic who was killed in the line of duty and Bradley Police Officer Tyler Bailey who continues to recover from injuries he received when he was shot as the two investigated a noise call at a local hotel December 29th of last year.
