Thomas, you would think that it is a good thing to see officers availible on the street. if you didn’t see them, that that would tell me that they are running from call to call, which means that the crime rate is high, i.e. no crime = officers doing there job. people complain about how police don’t do enough but when bullets start flying and your running the other way, whos running towards them? Just food for thought.

Thomas your comment make no sense maybe you should read the article again. They are not creating more expenses. The village is trying to protect them selfs and the poeple volunteering. Not sure what your beef is with the police but if you think you have answer maybe you should show up for a board meeting and air your complaints. As for the radar on main street keep up the good job EPD bring in that revenue!!!!!

While it is a noble act for a resident civilian to want to act as an auxiliary police officer, don’t we have an abundance of Elburn police on duty anyways? You can see an officer X 2 on almost any given day/time just sitting along main street with a radar on the traffic. on top of the spotters in the corn fields along Keslinger Road. Lets try and cut expenses as opposed to creating more please.
