Letter from the Chief

Welcome to the Streamwood Police Department on-line. Whether you are a resident, business or interested law enforcement candidate, we hope you will find the information on our site helpful.

The Streamwood Police Department is comprised of dedicated sworn officers and civilian support staff. We are most proud of our Neighborhood Based Policing (NBP) Program. Our NBP Program divides the Village into four different patrol beats where a Sergeant oversees activity within each beat. We encourage all residents to become familiar with who their Beat Sergeant is and contact them with questions or concerns beyond immediate in-progress response needs.

The Department also contains many specialty positions. Officers assignments include K-9, Field Training, Accident Reconstructionist, Crime Scene Technician, DARE/Crime Prevention, Juvenile, Criminal Investigator, Gang Crimes Investigator or as a School Resource Officer. We are also involved in numerous Mutual Aid partnerships with our area law enforcement partners. We are members of ILEAS (Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System), NIPAS (Northern Illinois Police Alarm System) and MCAT (Major Case Assistance Team). We are committed to these partnerships because they help us provide the best, most efficient and professional service to our community.

Should a resident need a police officer for any reason, whether a simple service call or an emergency, please call 911. Many people are reluctant to call 911 not wanting to bother emergency personnel for simple service calls such as barking dogs, parking complaints or loud music. We do not view our residents or businesses as a bother. If it is of concern to you, please let us know. Please call 911.

For those interested in a career in law enforcement, please navigate through our website to learn more about the commitment and dedication of our force. We are always looking for qualified candidates who share our belief that law enforcement is a calling, and that serving and protecting is our most important goal.

Alan V. Popp
Chief of Police
