South Chicago Heights police report rise in calls and install ComEd grant-funded speed signs near schools
Summary
Police Chief Clint Wagner told trustees that March calls for service rose to 516 (from 437 in March 2025) and traffic stops rose to 163 (from 81). Wagner said two speed-radar signs funded by a Power Up ComEd grant were installed near Steger Primary Center and Grant School.
Police Chief Clint Wagner reported to the Board on March activity, citing a year-over-year increase in both calls for service and traffic stops.
"In the month of March our department responded to 516 calls for service and 163 traffic stops," Wagner said, noting comparators of 437 calls and 81 traffic stops in March 2025. Wagner told trustees the department recently installed two speed-radar signs purchased with a Power Up ComEd grant and thanked Lisa Estock for assistance in securing the funds. "One is placed on Miller Avenue near Steger Primary Center and the other near Grant School," he said.
The chief did not provide dollar amounts for the signs or grant award in the minutes. No formal action was required; trustees received the report during the meeting's routine presentations.
