The Village of Lisle recognized the promotion of Officer Sean McKay to the rank of sergeant during the board meeting on Dec. 1.

Chief Rodriguez introduced Sergeant McKay and described a recent ordinance change to the department’s structure that created a special operations sergeant position (named as Sergeant Jim Dexter in the record) responsible for incident command at community events and oversight of training. Chief Rodriguez said he and Deputy Chief Gamorzak had met with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, which applauded the department’s structural changes.

Chief Rodriguez stated that Sean McKay began his career with the department on Jan. 5, 2005, graduated from the Suburban Law Enforcement Basic Academy at College of DuPage, and has served as a school resource officer, field training officer, bike patrol coordinator and in other assignments. The chief noted McKay has received awards from the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, multiple life‑saving awards and unit citations. Chief Rodriguez said McKay’s promotion to sergeant took effect Nov. 24, 2025.

Mayor Mullin and the board congratulated Sergeant McKay; McKay thanked the board. The recognition was presented as a ceremonial agenda item and no formal board action beyond the acknowledgment was recorded in the meeting minutes.
