The Gurnee Police Department believes public safety is most effective when it is shared. By working alongside residents, businesses, schools, and community organizations, we are able to better understand concerns, solve problems, and strengthen the trust that keeps our community safe. 

SF-PD

Present. Accessible. Engaged.

Our officers are encouraged to be more than responders. They are active members of the community they serve. Whether attending local events, visiting schools, or connecting with residents in neighborhoods, we prioritize relationships that go beyond calls for service.

The Gurnee Police Department is committed to:
  • Open and transparent communication
  • Proactive engagement with residents and businesses
  • Listening to community concerns and responding with purpose
  • Building trust through consistency and professionalism
