Chief Roy Selvig outlined a suite of policing initiatives the department rolled out in 2025, including new technology, training and an accreditation renewal he said were aimed at improving community outcomes and officer safety.

Selvig said the department introduced community feedback channels (QR-code surveys), launched quarterly "Chat with the Chiefs" sessions for neighborhood concerns and reinstated a full-time traffic enforcement unit with dedicated officers and a supervisor to respond to speeding and stop-sign complaints.

On technology, the department adopted Axon AI tools, including "Draft 1," which assists officers by generating initial incident-report drafts from body-camera recordings, and "Axon Translate" on AB4 cameras to provide near real-time translation where language barriers exist. "Axon Translate turns the body camera into, just a translation machine," Selvig said on the broadcast.

To reduce dangerous pursuits, Selvig said the department revised its pursuit policy to allow targeted responses to violent fleeing offenders, invested in emergency vehicle operations training (including a course run at DuPage Airport), and expanded use of stop sticks. The department also purchased StarChase, a GPS deployment system that attaches a tracker to a fleeing vehicle so officers can monitor it without prolonged high-speed chases.

Selvig credited the mayor and village board for equipment support and noted that the Addison Police Department and the Addison Consolidated Dispatch Center received a four-year reaccreditation from CALEA after external review of policies, training and operations. Mayor Tom Hundley and Village Manager Moran Woods attended the acceptance ceremony.

All program descriptions and quotes were taken from the televised year-end review. The broadcast did not record a formal vote; the chief framed changes as operational and budget-supported actions.
