Message from the Chief

Chief Frank Kaminski

Welcome to the Park Ridge Police Department website. As you explore our site, I hope you will get to know more about the department, its employees and our efforts to serve the Park Ridge community.

The department is committed to a policing philosophy called the PACT – Police And Community Together. Through this philosophy, we as members of the department value developing partnerships, fostering community engagement and working together to solve problems. I encourage you to become part of the PACT.

Two ways to become involved are the Citizens Police Academy and the Citizens Patrol. Both programs offer the opportunity for residents to connect with the police.

As your Police Chief and a 30-year resident, I can affirm that Park Ridge is a wonderful place to live and work. I look forward to keeping you informed and getting to know you better, both personally and through this site. Click here to view our organizational chart which depicts our three divisons - Field Operations, Support Services and Administrative Services. Please go to the Citizen Information tab for an update on what's happening in the department and to read the monthly and annual reports.

Sincerely,

 

Chief Frank J. Kaminski 


 

Research conducted by NeighborhoodScout revealed the 100 safest cities in America with 25,000 or more people.  Based on the total number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 residents, Park Ridge ranks as the 72nd safest city in America.  Data used for this research are 1) the number of total crimes reported to the FBI to have occurred in each city, and 2) the population of each city. 

 

 


 Effective January 1, 2012, Illinois law will require back seat passengers to wear seat belts, regardless of their age or seating position.  Fines for violators start at $50.00. Police Officers will have the authority to stop a vehicle if they notice a passenger is not wearing a seat belt in the back seat. The move will strengthen the State of Illinois’ current seat belt law, which requires passengers in the front seat and anyone under the age of 19 year old to wear a properly secure seat belt.  The new law exempts riders in buses, emergency vehicles, and those in the backseat of taxis.
