Police : Administrative Services

The Administrative Services Section consists of one Sergeant and six civilian employees. Included within the Administrative Services Section are the Records and Communications Units. Communications Officers are responsible for coordinating all calls for service made to the 911 Communications Center on a twenty-four hour basis. Communications Officers dispatch 911 calls for the Police Department and handle all other incoming emergency and non-emergency calls. Via radio communication, the members of this unit facilitate the coordination of Village response to emergencies with the Fire Department, Public Works Department, the Water and Electric Department, and neighboring communities. Communications officers provide general information to the public, either over the telephone or in person, provide law enforcement data to the patrol units working in the community, and assist investigators with information gained via computerized and automated data systems.

Members of the Administrative Services Section are also assigned to the Records Section. They process and maintain all police reports, solicitor applications and permits, liquor license applications, information relating to false burglar alarms, parking violations and various other reports required by county, state and federal governments. Members of the Records Section also staff the department Reception Desk and prepare the daily report of police activity that is provided to the Village Manager and Village President. They also are responsible for updating and maintaining all case files and collecting and collating statistical data for the annual and semi annual police reports.

Administrative Services personnel are also involved in assisting other Department and Village employees in a wide variety of tasks, including technical assistance, permits and resolving citizen complaints.
