Just wanted to clear up some rumors





On Friday evening the Sauk Village Police Department experienced radio issues at CalCom. The issues lasted approximately two hours however, disruption was minimum due the Chief Kowalski quickly implementing the contingency plan.

The Police Department continued to function during the disruption and officers had radio contact among themselves as well as the Illinois State Police Radio Emergency Network (ISPERN).

CalCom sent a technician to Sauk Village immediately and the issue was resolved. After further root cause analysis it was found that the problem was a human error not a technical issue as previously thought.

A special thank you to our Police Chief Kowalski and officers for stepping up and doing a great job during this time and while maintaining a safe environment.
