Please join us in congratulating Brian Lindstrom on his retirement from the Addison Police Department after 30 years of tireless service. Brian spent 25 years as a sworn officer before retiring as a Sergeant to take the civilian Records Supervisor position.

In the last five years, Brian has overseen major changes within the Records Section -- a redesign of the Records offices, the hiring of several new Records personnel, the development of an entirely new Records Management software system, and so much more. He is truly leaving Records in a better place than when he found it.

Congratulations, Brian, and good luck on your next chapter. You will be missed! JS419

It’s National Slam the Scam Day –

What is that, you ask? National Slam the Scam Day aims to raise awareness about scams. Its primary focus is to alert people about scams where individuals pretend to be from government agencies like Social Security, often demanding personal information or immediate payment.

Here are some great tips from the Social Security Administration on how to recognize scammers and how to stay safe.

St. Patrick’s Day will be here before we know it, bringing with it parades, parties, green beer and more to communities throughout the state. To remind motorists of the dangers of impaired driving and to help keep our streets safe, the Addison Police Department is teaming up with the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Department of Transportation for a stepped-up traffic safety campaign.

From March 7 to March 18, the Addison Police will join hundreds of Illinois law enforcement officers in cracking down on impaired motorists. In addition to looking for alcohol- and cannabis-impaired drivers, the Addison Police will step up seat belt enforcement, particularly at night when seat belt usage rates are lowest. Speeding, distracted driving, and all traffic laws will be strictly enforced.

We want everyone to enjoy St. Patrick's Day, but safe driving is everyone's responsibility. When you go out this St. Patrick’s Day, bring your lucky charm – a sober, designated driver. Be safe, Addison! JS419

The Addison Police Department wants your help so we can provide the best possible service to all members of the community.

Last year, the Police Department started an innovative program – For any non-emergency call for service, citizens automatically receive a text message from the Addison Police. The text message contains a link to a survey that asks about your experience with us. (Text message fees do not apply, and the recipient cannot reply to the text.)

We know you are busy, but we hope you will take a couple minutes out of your day to complete the survey for us. JS419

March is Speed Awareness Month --

The Addison Police Department participates in IDOT’s traffic grant program. This period, the focus is on enforcing speed limits within the Village, with a secondary focus on seat belt usage and distracted and impaired driving. The grant runs through the month of March. Extra officers will be out patrolling the streets of Addison, dedicated to speed enforcement, seat belt usage, and distracted and impaired driving.

Responsible driving starts with you. Eliminate distractions, drive within the speed limit, always wear your seatbelt, and don't drink and drive. Be safe, Addison!

Have you received a text message from the Illinois Tollway about unpaid tolls?

The Illinois Tollway is warning drivers of this phishing text claiming to be from the highway authority. The Illinois Tollway will never send you a text about an outstanding amount. These text messages are a phishing scam that claims you owe unpaid tolls and are designed to steal your personal information or install malware.

If you receive a suspicious text:

* Don’t click any links in the text.
* Check your account online to see if it is legitimate or call the Illinois Tollway Customer Service at (800) 824-7277 from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on weekdays.
* Report and delete unwanted text messages.

Last Friday, Sergeant Brad Riley, along with former alumni Officer Natalie Obrzut and Officer Peter Mares, picked up toys that St. Philip the Apostle School had collected from its annual Stuff the Squad event for the Toys for Tots drive run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Before they left, the kindergarten class gave them a special police officer blessing. We thought we would share it with you. Thank you, St. Philip! JS419 #APDproud

Don't let your Halloween fun end in a nightmare. Everyone is at risk when you choose to drive drunk. JS419 #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver #ImpairedDrivingIsScary

Halloween party this weekend? Check. Costume? Check. Sober ride home? You'd better check! #DriveSoberIllinois #ImpairedDrivingIsScary JS419 #APDcares #BeSafe

This Halloween, the Addison Police Department is cracking down on drunk, drugged driving. The Addison Police urges motorists to commit to sober driving, buckling up, and following traffic laws this Halloween, as children and their families walk through neighborhoods after dark for candy and spooky fun. If you are planning to enjoy Halloween festivities, make sure you also plan for a safe, sober ride home. DUIs are not limited to alcohol-related offenses. It’s illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol, cannabis or any other drug or substance. Remember – “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” Be safe, Addison. JS419 #APDcares #DriveSoberorGetPulledOver

It's never too early to talk about Halloween safety. Before Halloween arrives this year, be sure to choose a costume that won't cause safety hazards. Follow these costume safety tips: * Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. * Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision. * Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers. * When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls. Be safe, Addison. JS419 #APDcares

SCAM ALERT -- There’s a new scam in the area. Scammers are posing as representatives from Microsoft Tech Support offering in-home services. Victims are instructed to make cash withdrawals from their bank and hand off the money to a “cash currier” before the tech begins work on the computer. Tech support scams often try to scare unsuspecting victims into thinking that something is wrong with their computer. This can include displaying a pop-up on a browser that claims the computer has been infected with a virus. The pop-up will then direct the victim to call a number, where they can talk with a technical support agent to resolve the problem. In reality, the tech support agent is merely a scammer, usually out to trick the victim into handing over their funds. JS419 #APDcares
