Mayor Landek and the Board of trustees always look for better ways to serve the residents. So, when Chief Mancha and the Police Department proposed a new online presence to communicate with residents at all hours, the entire Village Board agreed!
IMPORTANT NOTICE; POLICE OFFICERS ARE ONLY DISPATCHED TO YOUR HOME, BUSINESS, OR TO AN INCIDENT THROUGH THE 911 SYSTEM. ALL “NON-EMEGENCY” CALLS ARE DISPATCHED THROUGH 911. FYI; When a resident calls the non-emergency number to have a police officer come to their home because it isn’t an emergency, that request is immediately sent to 911 and the officer is dispatched. If you need an officer to arrive in person for whatever purpose, that is considered a 911 call, and they are dispatched through 911. Save time—if you need a police officer to arrive in person, CALL 911.
In addition to general non-emergency citizen reporting, the three other most common “non-emergency” issues that do not require a police officer to show up at the time of reporting can now be handled efficiently ONLINE!
OVERNIGHT PARKING
It’s 1a.m. and your driveway is full of overnight guests! To prevent an overnight parking ticket, you can quickly access the website to register your car for overnight parking, and the problem is solved. Quick and easy. The patrol officer receives a notification, the police supervisor is informed, and service to our residents is assured!
VACATION WATCH
You are leaving your home for a quick vacation. You may be concerned about the safety of your home. Access the site, and report to the police, when you are leaving and when you will return. Quick and easy. The patrol officer receives a notification, the police supervisor is informed, and service to our residents is assured.
PET MANAGEMENT
As pet owners we are always concerned if our pets become lost. What can be done? Access the site and report the pet loss to the police. It has a place for photos and other information which can be helpful to the police in locating a lost animal. Quick and easy. The patrol officer receives notification and keeps a watch on the street, and the police supervisor is informed in case someone comes into the station or calls with information on a lost animal.
