    I was physically abused by my bf at the time, in the apartments right behind the police station…read more My mom had enough of it and called them in July 2023. When they showed up I was obviously distraught. And instead of asking me questions or listening to my side they took my bf outside and let him lie to them regarding the whole situation. When I told them all the other times he'd laid his hands on me they said "well why didn't you call us then?" And pretty much blamed me. They kicked me out of the house and he didn't get in trouble at all for dragging me all over the house and putting his hands on me. I had no family or anywhere to go in Illinois, I spent the night in my car and was given a pamphlet on Domestic Violence. My brother's a police officer and he was appalled with how Schaumburg Police dealt with this situation. Yall should be ashamed !

    05/01/22 - The boys in Blue get nothing but shit from the public. Sunday morning I was out in…read moreSchaumburg when my ball joint & axel shaft assembly blew apart leaving me partially through a turn in the middle of Golf & Plum Grove Road. I called 911 & Schaumburg Police Dept sent out a squad to help by sitting behind me and keeping a car from hitting me while we waited for a tow truck. They waited behind me until the tow truck had my car loaded on the flat bed truck and we were on our way. For all the shit you hear about the police most of them are there to serve & protect and do a great job. There are always going to be a few bad apples but probably 98% do there job. Thanks again to the 2 officers who came out you are appreciated.

    I have always respected and been supportive of my local police department. That completely changed…read morelast night. There was an incident in the neighborhood resulting in the police parking 6 squad cars, with full emergency lights blasting, on my street. It was scary for the neighbors and the person they were interviewing turned out to be innocent. This aggressive response probably allowed the real perpetrator to get away. A less frightening and better use of resources would have been for one or two squad cars to complete the interview while the other 4 canvased the neighborhood searching for the perpetrator. A very scary over aggressive response, resulting in trauma for a law-abiding citizen and the neighborhood, and letting the perpetrator get away, was unnecessary. This should have been better managed, my respect and support for my local police department is gone.

    I got my first parking ticket today. I also met the world's nicest parking ticket lady…read more A friend and I spent a few hours this afternoon in downtown Arlington Heights, so I parked my car in the underground parking garage as usual. We noted the four-hour parking limit and made it a point to return to the car right as four hours was ending. My car was still there. With a red paper stuck to the windshield. Crap. We hadn't made it back in time. I opened the ticket and looked at the timestamp: 11:28am. Only an hour after we had been there. Confused, I looked up, looked around, and then started to notice the red permit parking signs scattered among the blue four-hour parking signs. Actually, the signs said: "PERMIT PARKING MON-FRI 5AM-6PM" "OR 4 HOUR PARKING." These two signs were right next to each other. Clearly, it meant that we could have a permit or park there for four hours. Right? I started snapping photos of the confusing signs (and lack of certain signs) near my parking spot as proof against the ticket. Meanwhile, I spotted a woman with her flashlight looking at cars. Ah, the parking enforcement officer. "Excuse me," I showed her the ticket, "can you help me figure this out?" "Oh, you're in a permit parking zone." "But the signs......." She smiled, "Oh yes, I know. It's so confusing." She explained it happens all the time and I can just try to fight the ticket by writing a note with the ticket and dropping it off at the village hall. All of this with patience and a smile on her face. I thanked her repeatedly before getting in my car and driving away. An hour later, I went to the finance department of the village hall and the woman behind the counter sent me over to the police department. Once at the police department, I was being assisted by a nice police officer until I saw the same lady who gave me my ticket! She came around to the front of the counter, greeted me with a smile, and started to talk with the officer about helping me waive the ticket. Since I had the photos of proof on my phone, I was told I would have to go home, print the pictures, and mail them out. She generously offered to let me email her the photos so she could print them out the next morning and attach them with my ticket. Floored by the fact that she was going above and beyond to help me, I agreed and she wrote down her [work] email address for me. Then she unexpectedly takes the ticket from me and says, "You know what, just forget about the ticket. I'll take care of it." Shocked, I say, "But... don't you need to document this or something...?" "Don't worry about it. You're being so nice about this. Happy Thanksgiving!" she replies with a smile. Me? I'M being nice about this? Sure, I was being pleasant about the whole thing (I've learned that it's no big deal to be annoyed or angry about these kind of things), but this lady was just so unexpectedly nice about the ticket. Seriously. I was nearly in shock. "Wow... thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving, too!" was all I could say. She took the papers, smiled, and walked away. Stunned, I left with a heart growing full of gratitude for all the kind people in this world. She made my day. I realize that the village/police department aren't probably always going to be this nice and lenient when it comes to parking tickets, but my experience today was so, so pleasant. Five-star pleasant.
