New Police Chief Ron Lukasik gets sworn in.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF

Thank you for visiting the Fox River Grove Police Department’s webpage.  Although, newly appointed as Chief of Police, I have had the opportunity to serve the community of Fox River Grove as a police officer, Sergeant and Lieutenant for the past fifteen years.  I have seen our community grow, and with that growth, there has been an increase in needs requiring the assistance of your police department. 

A strong partnership with the police department and community is imperative to maintain and enhance the Village of Fox River Grove to be a safe and enjoyable place to live, work and visit.  It is my intention to build on this partnership throughout my tenure as Chief of Police of Fox River Grove.

I would like to thank various community members, Village staff and officials for their continued support throughout my career in Fox River Grove.  I hope by visiting the webpage, you will be better acquainted with the Fox River Grove Police Department and the services we have to offer the community.

Sincerely,

Ronald Lukasik

Chief of Police

MOTOR VEHICLE LOCK OUTS

The police department will only attempt to unlock vehicles which do not have side impact air bags.  All others are required to call a local service station or locksmith of their choice. The police department does not assume any liability for damages caused in our attempt to unlock a motor vehicle, and requires the vehicle owner/operator to sign a waiver indemnifying the Village and the Police Department from any damages.

FINGERPRINTING

The police department will fingerprint residents, and non-residents, for official reasons.  Residents are charged $10.00 and non-residents will be charged $25.00 for this service.  Residents requesting to have their minor children fingerprinted for identification purposes will not be charged a fee.  Please note that we do our fingerprinting in our processing room, and if it is being used for an arrest, we will not allow civilian fingerprints to be taken. Also, it will be your responsibility to forward your fingerprint cards to the proper authority. 

FIREARM OWNERS IDENTIFICATION (FOID) CARD APPLICATION

To lawfully own/possess a firearm in the State of Illinois, you must also possess a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card.  FOID applications are available free of charge at the police department.  Please note that possessing a FOID card does not give the owner authorization to carry or use a firearm unlawfully.  Illinois is not a concealed carry state.

FIREARM SAFETY

Project Homesafe promotes safe and responsible firearm ownership and storage.   Gun locks may be picked up at the police station.  These locks are provided fee of charge to the public.

TICKET PAYMENT

Payment for parking violations and local ordinance tickets can be made by mailing in the citation (do not send cash), at the Village Hall during normal business hours or placed in the drop box located outside the Village Hall after hours.  Payment can also be made via the e-pay link on the Village website.

Payment for traffic citations must be made through the McHenry County Clerk of the Circuit Court in Woodstock, Illinois.  Please follow the instructions received with the citation for traffic violations.

POLICE TOWED VEHICLES

If your vehicle has been towed by the police department you will need to obtain a release before you can retrieve the vehicle.  The vehicle release form can be picked up at the police department 24 hours a day.  State Law requires vehicles towed as a result of a Driving Under the Influence Arrest must be impounded for a minimum of twelve hours.  Also, persons arrested without a valid driver’s license and charged with Operation of an Uninsured Motor Vehicle must show valid proof of insurance before the vehicle will be released.

POLICE DEPARTMENT TOURS

Group tours of the police department can be conducted by appointment.  Please contact Sgt. Domagala at the non-emergency phone number to make an appointment.

CAR SEAT INSPECTION AND LOAN PROGRAM

The police department offers a certified child safety seat officer to inspect your car seat for proper installation and teach you the safest restraint for your child’s car seat.  This service is free of charge, but must be made by appointment.  This service takes approximately 30 minutes.  The police department in addition has a stock of car seats which may be borrowed in particular circumstances.  For appointments or more information, please contact Officer Simcoe through the non-emergency police department number.
