The Cicero Fire and Police Commission page is not a law enforcement agency and is not part of the Cicero Police Department. If you have an emergency or a need to contact the police you should dial 911 or 656 3600 to speak to a dispatcher or officer. Messages received on this page are generally only viewed one time per day and relying on the Commission to forward information to the Police Department may result in an unnecessary and/or dangerous delay.
