The Police Department was established by ordinance for the protection of lives and property within the limits of the Village, the enforcement of Federal and State statutes and Village ordinances, and to perform related police functions.
The Mission of the Lincolnwood Police Department is to provide effective and professional police service to the community. We recognize that our authority is derived from the community, that we must be responsive to its needs, and that we are accountable for our actions. Believing in the dignity and worth of all people, we must protect the rights of all citizens and treat our employees in an equitable manner. We believe that the police and community share responsibility for maintaining law and order, and that our relationship with the community and with each other must be based on mutual respect.
