ATKINSON โ€“ Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 2 Special Agents arrested 28-year-old Tyler K. Hartman of Atkinson, IL for one count of Dissemination of Child Po*******hy (Class X Felony).

On May 27, 2026, ISP and the Illinois Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a residential search warrant in the 18000 block of North 1700th Avenue in Atkinson, IL related to a child sexual abuse materials investigation which identified Hartman as the suspect. Hartman was arrested and is being held at the Henry County Jail pending his first court appearance.

The Geneseo Police Department, the Henry County Sheriffโ€™s Office, the Kewanee Police Department, and Illinois Attorney Generalโ€™s Office Forensics assisted with the investigation.

The Illinois State Police provides resources for parents, for the public to report crimes against children, and survivors to start their path towards healing and recovery. Anonymous tips of child sexual abuse materials can also be reported through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's (NCMEC) Cybertip line at www.cybertipline.com. To keep kids safe online, learn more at: https://illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/onlinesafe/; www.cybertipline.org; For resources for survivors of sexual abuse visit: https://www.missingkids.org/gethelpnow/csam-resources/

This morning, the Geneseo Police Department saw firsthand just how important our Dementia Tracking Program is to our community.

On Sunday, an 83-year-old female was fitted with one of our tracking bracelets through the program. Early this morning, her husband woke up and discovered she was missing. Officers immediately responded and began utilizing the tracking equipment to locate her.
Within approximately 30 minutes of being notified, officers located her.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Geneseo Dementia Task Force and the Geneseo Foundation, whose funding helped make this life-saving program possible. This successful outcome is a direct reflection of what can happen when a community comes together to care for and protect one another.

Without the continued support from our community, programs like this would not be possible. Thank you to everyone who has believed in and supported this initiative.

If you would like more information about the Dementia Tracking Program, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Geneseo Police Department.

"This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn't come home. This is not Veterans Day, it is not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom." โ€” Tamra Bolton

Thank you to those who served and are no longer with us.

Celebrate responsibly!

Following our previous post regarding E-Bikes, weโ€™ve received several questions and many complaints about โ€œE-Motosโ€ that have recently been seen around town.

Unlike E-Bikes, these vehicles do not have pedals and currently do not meet Illinoisโ€™ E-Bike classifications.

At this time, Illinois law considers these vehicles to fall under the category of an โ€œOff-Highway Motorcycle.โ€ Because of that, they are required to have proper equipment to be operated on public roadways, including headlights, taillights, turn signals, mirrors, registration, insurance, and a valid driverโ€™s license.

Additionally, the City of Geneseoโ€™s Slow Moving Vehicle Ordinance currently prohibits Off-Highway Motorcycles from operating within the city.

We understand these vehicles have become increasingly popular, especially among younger riders. Our main concern is safety and ensuring operators understand and follow the rules of the road.

There is currently pending legislation in Illinois that may create a separate classification and regulations for E-Motos similar to E-Bikes. Until any new legislation is passed, these vehicles will continue to be regulated as Off-Highway Motorcycles.

As always, we encourage everyone to ride safely and responsibly.
