The Blue Island police department continues to provide professional police services to the citizens of the city. In the next few months the department will hire two new officers that will replace Sgt. David Schultz and Officer David Anderson who retired in the last few months. The department has also obtained a grant to hire three more officers. In addition the department has appointed four new part-time officers bringing up the total part-time officers to twenty-four. The department is preparing for a busy summer. There is the Men’s Regatta, Kid Cop Picnics, Fourth of July parade and fireworks, Pro-Am Bike race, National Night Out, and Women’s Regatta. The department continues to look for innovated ways to provide professional police services to the citizens of Blue Island. As I finish my sixth year as your Chief of Police I want to thank all the citizens of the city for their continued support of the police department. I want everyone to know that the men and women of the Blue Island police department are committed to continue to make the City of Blue Island a safe place to visit, work, or to raise a family.
