Car Seat Inspections
Internet Safety
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of
fatal injury for children. Proper use of child restraints and seatbelts may be the most important
thing you can do to protect your child in a crash.
According to safetyseat.org as many as 7 out of 10
children in safety seats are not installed properly.
Child safety on the Internet has become an everincreasing challenge facing parents, students,
teachers, and administrators. Using the Internet
has and will continue to be a vital part of our
children’s day-to-day lives. In providing access to
this resource, we must also provide guidance and
guidelines for the various hazards that can be
encountered when using this resource.

Crossing Guards
Adult crossing guards play an important role in
the lives of children who walk or bicycle to school.
They help children safely cross the street at key
locations and they remind drivers of the presence
of pedestrians. Adult crossing guards help parents
feel more comfortable about their children walking or bicycling to school. While the primary role
of an adult school crossing guard is to guide children safely across the street, children also remain
responsible for their own safety. The guard also
serves as a role model helping children develop
the skills necessary to cross streets safely at all
times.

In the State sponsored Click It or Ticket programs,
law enforcement agencies mobilize to focus on
seatbelt violations and publicize the effort through
news and advertisements. This two-pronged
approach makes the campaign powerful: not only
are more tickets issued, but the surrounding
publicity ensures that people know they are more
likely to get a ticket if they don’t wear a seatbelt.
Seatbelt surveys conducted throughout the state of
Illinois in 2011 showed an average compliance in
Illinois at 92.9% with the Collar Counties (DuPage,
Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will) having the highest
compliance rate of 94.4%. The Village of

local residents, businesses and school personnel.
These partnerships have proven to be a successful
tool in identifying and apprehending criminals.
In 2012 investigators were assigned to follow-up
on 266 cases and conducted numerous employment and alcohol license background investigations throughout the year.

departments investigated an increased number of
burglary, theft, or trespass to motor vehicles. This
department found and arrested two different
groups which accounted for 4457% of these incidents. Most of the
vehicles which
were entered
were unlocked
and loose items
were taken, such
as GPS, iPads, and
change. In some
incidents, credit
cards were taken
and used at various locations to purchase gift
cards prior to being discovered missing. Charges
of Identity Theft, Credit Card Fraud, and Burglary
to Motor Vehicle were approved for several of
these cases.

ADMINISTRATION
Accreditation
The Police Department has
been a fully Accredited agency

Accreditation for Law

in 1979 to establish a body of
standards designed to:

they report back to the full commission.
The accreditation process is considered an
essential management model that guides the
agency through organizational growth, challenges,
and change. The accreditation process is not to be
viewed as an event that occurs every three years;
rather, as an ongoing, quality performance review

the agency.
In addition, the Commission was formed to
develop an accreditation process that provides law
enforcement agencies an opportunity to
voluntarily demonstrate that they meet an
established set of professional standards.
As an accredited agency, the department is better
able to defend itself against lawsuits and
unwarranted complaints.
Greater accountability within the agency

Support from local law enforcement agencies
Accreditation through CALEA provides objective
evidence of our commitment to excellence in
training and resource management.
In July 2011 the Police Department received
Advanced Accreditation Status from CALEA at the
Commission’s annual conference.
The Department continues to observe the standards set by CALEA and prepare for the next on-site
inspection of the police facility. Assessors made up
of law enforcement practitioners with extensive
experience in training and police management will
visit the Department in 2014 for the next reaccreditation. The assessors will review written

Use of Force Analysis
Internal Affairs
All sworn members of this agency are required to
review the use of force policy annually. These
reviews are conducted throughout the year in roll
call and weapons training.
The purpose of establishing an internal affairs
policy is to maintain professional conduct in the
department. These procedures will ensure prompt
and thorough investigation of alleged transgressions and, if needed, will facilitate suitable
disciplinary action. In 2012 there were seven
internal affairs investigations. The following

who attend training that enables them to maintain

to assist 9-1-1 staff in recognizing the particulars
of pre-incident terrorism activities and how and
who to report it to. Communications Director Mary
Anne Glowacz attended the National Emergency
Number Association conference in October and
also the New World System (NWS) conference this
past May.

as acting as a training position for new employees.
The 9-1-1 Center serves as the regional answering
point for incoming cellular 9-1-1 and has an interactive mapping system which displays approximate caller location for those callers whose Cellular providers support this technology.
The computer-based touch screen radio equipment allows for communication with all bordering
communities as well as Chicago and the State

In 2012, we added several new programs to our

the Illinois Secretary of State’s Emergency Contact
Database and the Illinois Premise Alert Program.
The Department continues to participate in the
Project Lifesaver (PL) program. This program provides law enforcement agencies with a rapid response program to save lives and reduce the potential for serious injury for adults and children
who wander due to: Alzheimer’s, autism, Down
Syndrome, dementia, and other related cognitive
conditions. In December, the Department secured
a grant from the Department of Justice for two additional PL transmitters to distribute as needed.
