Rather than acting rational, this "officer" sped up behind me, tailgates me, and then cut me off and sped up to nearly twice the speed limit without emergency lights on. Had myself or any non-leo done this we would have been arrested for reckless driving. All they do is sit on north avenue and lies in their speed traps. God forbid anyone go 10 mph over in on a three lane highway or industrial back road, yet they use this intimidation? Disgusting thugs! We will be moving out of this township soon and you will not be getting any more of our tax money. You ignore school zones and residences to capitalize on your shady tactics. This department needs to be audited and defunded!

What I don't get is that it took almost two hours for one to show up, and we were less than 10 minutes away from the station (and it was closed, so we couldn't just drive there). I called only twice during this time, the other driver might've called more times. I spoke to some guy named "Brandon?" Or maybe "Brendon?" Whoever he was, he said "police are dealing with other issues right now," (for two hours, likely story. The person I spoke to before said there was a shift change) then went on to tell me I didn't actually need a police report at all "because the accident occurred on private property." When he couldn't defend his outrageously incorrect statement, he said "actually there's an officer coming your way now." So the non-emergency personnel working there have no idea what they're talking about and lie to you to excuse laziness and incompetence. Something you really value at a police station, right? Call Aurora instead. Or, call Metra Police (who helped us because he felt bad).

Let's address the unprofessional conduct of one of your officers arriving at a MVA yesterday…read moreevening at the intersection of Roosevelt road and President Street. I was on scene when the above accident occurred and immediately pulled into the gas station and was informed that emergency personnel were contacted. I then proceeded to help secure the scene until emergency personnel arrived and verifying their were no serious injuries involved. I pulled into the adjacent bank parking lot and went to the intersection and still observed no emergency personnel. I then assisted in clearing some of the waiting traffic at the intersection until I heard sirens of emergency personnel approaching from both the south, fire/ambulance and west police. I proceeded to stop all pending traffic in all directions because of emergency traffic approaching from multiple directions and didn't want any vehicles entering the intersection. After assuring police and fire/ambulance personnel got positioned. I moved myself out of the way when I was aggressively approached by a Wheaton police officer demanding i get off the street out of the investigation blah blah blah. I then got on the sidewalk and again he started getting aggressive with his demeanor with me telling me to leave even though I was definitely far enough and in no way interfering with his non investigating investigation as the injured parties were conversing with medical staff. As he was not happy with my location he ILLEGALLY RAN MY CAR PLATES THAT WERE PARKED IN A PRIVATE LOT. I was on private property now. 2 other officers came over and I spoke of my displeasure and his I feel gestapo tactics when I was out there on scene making sure him and all his emergency personnel got to the scene safely. Only reason for the 2 stars was the 2 other officers that spoke with me at my car otherwise it would be 0 stars.

They responded quickly to a suspicious vehicle with tinted windows that had been parked for a while, but............. when someone was attempting to break into our home, lots of questions as I am watching the car with the 2 men in it drive away. As I am describing the vehicle hoping the police will stop them before they exit the subdivision, I am being asked to describe the individuals, DID they get into the house,etc. As I am stating that they are now exiting the subdivision, the dispatcher says they will send someone out. Why bother? They are long gone. Did the police stop at my home to see about any damage? NO Was there any follow up to the incident? NO AND, they came back and attempted to get into another house in our subdivision, but had a bogus story when the homeowner answered the door. The home owner recognized the vehicle because I had sent out an e-mail to warn everyone. Congratulations to the Naperville Police Department, they caught the guys.

And by the way the second cop could have care less!!!! 3) finally the CSI cop women shows up (she has more tattoo then the second guy) said she was going to take prints. I am pretty sure never happened. Never took my prints or any member of my family to eliminate 4) they were never really sure were they got in and were all leaving. When I was walking around my house to lock up I look at my back door and they ripped it out of the frame. Had to chase the cop back down to come look at it. They hardly cared. God forbid you park your car on the street at night though. There will be a ticket waiting for you. They don't serve and protect they are just revenue generators! Oh by the way it's been more then 10 days never even got a follow up call. Nice job Woodridge Police.

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.

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.
