Carpentersville pins badge on Deputy Chief Greg Polis
Summary
The Village of Carpentersville held a badge-pinning ceremony for Deputy Chief Greg Polis, whose prior service with Hoffman Estates and SWAT experience were highlighted; trustees and the village president welcomed him to the department.
President Skillman opened the meeting Feb. 17 by recognizing recent local losses and then the board paused to honor new public safety leadership. Police Chief (name read as “Chief” in the record) introduced Greg Polis, noting Polis took his oath of office Feb. 2 and highlighting a career that includes 30 years with the Hoffman Estates Police Department, service as an assistant chief there, more than 25 years of SWAT experience and work as a training coordinator for Carpentersville since December 2023. Chief described Polis’s work launching a local training cadre, implementing a web-based training tracking system and leading monthly warrant-service training. Polis’s son Jacob performed the badge pinning during the brief ceremony and Polis thanked the board and his family for their support.
The board offered congratulations during trustee reports and President Skillman welcomed Polis as a “great addition” who has done “outstanding work.” No formal action was required beyond the oath already taken Feb. 2.
What’s next: Polis will begin serving in his new role immediately; the record includes expressions of support from trustees and no public comment about the appointment.
