Police Chief Donicio Silva told the Village Board on March 16 that the Kenilworth Police Department’s three primary areas of concentration remain traffic safety, school security and community engagement. "Calls for service were higher than the prior month," Chief Silva reported, a change he linked in part to increased traffic enforcement designed to promote safer driving among residents and visitors.
