Location
The 8110 beat is primarily located in the downtown area of the village of Palatine. It is roughly bordered by Palatine Road to the South and Route 14 to the North and East. It stretches West to the village limits and covers portions of council districts 1, 2, and 6.
Responsibilities
In addition to regular patrol responsibilities and traffic enforcement, beat officers have focused much of their efforts on pedestrian safety around the train station. Now that parking and accessibility have improved with the new station, Palatine is becoming a much busier destination to take the Metra Train to and from the City of Chicago. With the increase in riders we feel the need to educate the public on train safety and often physically monitor the pedestrian foot traffic near the tracks. This also allows officers to greet residents and visitors and let them know we are always available if needed.
Further Information
It takes an entire community to keep our Village peaceful and safe and I encourage those involved in any aspect of beat 8110 to join me in attending neighborhood meetings with Councilman Brad Helms. If you have questions or need to contact me you may do so by emailing me or calling me at 847-359-9000.
