This unit is responsible for gathering statistics in
accordance with state guidelines including entering
all data collected from officers’ vehicle stops into
the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Racial
Profiling database for the State’s use as well as
compiling this same information into reports for the
Chief of Police.

witnesses, officers, and other pertinent parties, is
usually the first to greet the public who come to
the department, answers non-emergency telephone
lines, takes messages for officers and employees of
the department, facilitates the return of lost
property and takes Teleserve reports.
Designated Central Records personnel take Teleserve
reports by phone and in person for such complaints
as minor theft, criminal damage, and lost property
reports. This type of report taking frees up an
officers time so they can concentrate more on other
