Department Profile

The Tower Lakes Police Department, founded in 1972, provides law enforcement services for the Village of Tower Lakes. Its jurisdiction covers approximately 14 miles of Village roads, located in southwest Lake County and includes IL Route 59.

Police

The Tower Lakes Police Department staff consists of a Chief of Police, two supervisory Officers, several patrol officers, two investigators and a part time clerk. All of the staff, including the Chief, serve on a part time basis. Other resources are available on an as-needed basis, including special investigators, crime lab, air patrol and regional task forces for major crimes and drug enforcement. Deputies from the Lake County Sherrif's Department respond to calls during hours which are not covered by the Part time police force. Our dispatch is provided on a contractual basis by the Island Lake Police Department. The Village of Tower Lakes also has enhanced 9-1-1 service provided through the Lake County Emergency Telephone System Board.

Police Service

The Tower Lakes Police Department provides regular patrolling, property surveillance, investigations, traffic enforcement, truck enforcement and a D.U.I. enforcement program. We also provide different areas of law enforcement to the public.

There is now an emergency phone outside the Village Office. It is located in a red box between the front door and the Police (North) door. A single button will connect the caller to the 911 dispatcher. This will provide 24 hr access to emergency services for joggers, bikers and drivers whose cars break down near Rt. 59, even when our part-time force is not present at the office.

The Tower Lakes Police Department has adopted a policy of pro-active policing to enhance safety for our community.

Fire/Rescue

The Wauconda Fire Department provides both fire protection and ambulance/paramedic service to all of Tower Lakes. For non-emergencies call 847-526-2821, for emergencies dial 9-1-1.

911 Service

911 service is available to all residents, a 24 hour emergency telephone number that puts you in touch with your police, fire or emergency medical service immediately. It is to be used for emergency situations only.

We use the Connect-CTY service, a village-to-resident notification system, sometimes referred to as Reverse 911. With this service, police and village leaders can send voice messages to residents and businesses within minutes with information about severe storm warnings, boil orders, road closures or any other time-sensitive information. The Connect-CTY service is used to supplement other communication plans and augment public safety/first responder services. Contact the Village Office if you want to add your number or additional numbers to your profile. An on-line tool for number maintenance will be available soon.
