Deputy Chief Eric Allen received a commendation at the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) conference for his work preparing two national conventions and coordinating a major in‑state deployment of ILEAS resources that "included the coordination between the Chicago Police Department, Illinois State Police and all Federal Law Enforcement partners." Committee members praised Allen's role; the clerk noted Commander Allen serves as head of the ILEAS MFF training cadre.
Officials also said the police officers eligibility list must be renewed. Applications are expected to be available at the beginning of May and testing is likely at the end of June; the committee asked residents who might be interested to check the village website for application details. The meeting also described the Guardian ANGEL Community Service program, which the committee said is used to investigate allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation and self‑neglect among adults and elderly adults in Will County.
