Police
The New Lenox Police Department proudly serves its residents and visitors each day. Each member of the Police Department is committed to providing a high level of law enforcement services to residents, businesses, and visitors.
The Police Department is organized into two divisions: police operations and administration. These divisions, led by the Police Chief and two Deputy Police Chiefs, provide efficient and effective law enforcement service to the residents of New Lenox.
The mission of the New Lenox Police Department is to affirmatively promote a feeling of safety and security to the members of our community in a manner that complies with the legal and professional standards established for the law enforcement profession.
The New Lenox Police Department and its members honor these values: In all that we do, we must be honest and ethical; be reliable and trustworthy; be committed to excellence; and seek to be more effective through continued growth and learning. In serving the community, we must treat all people fairly, with respect and without prejudice; be prepared and vigilant; respond immediately when we are needed; be approachable and open but respect confidentiality; work with the community to maintain community values; strive to keep problems from arising and resolve situations without worsening them; and observe high standards of behavior. As members of the department, we value one another's contributions and need to work together and support one another.
Many residents and business owners may be receiving solicitation phone calls asking for a financial donation to, what they interpret to be, the New Lenox Police Department. When these solicitors call, please listen carefully to the caller. The New Lenox Police Department does not solicit monetary donations. Any donations made will not benefit the operations of the New Lenox Police Department. Operations for the Police Department are funded through tax dollars. The union representing the sergeants of the New Lenox Police Department, the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, will be making these solicitation calls. Any donation will go to that union. Additionally, any donation made will not have an effect (either positive or negative) on the service delivery of the New Lenox Police Department.
The union is allowed to solicit for funds and must legally represent themselves during the phone conversation. However, many residents and business owners have voiced confusion and concern over these calls in the past. If you receive a call and are confused, ask the caller what a donation would fund and what organization would receive it. Anyone with questions or concerns should contact Deputy Chief Tim Perry at the New Lenox Police Department at 815-462-6100.
