The Elgin Police Department is dedicated to working in partnership with the community to promote safety and enhance the quality of life by serving with professionalism, encouraging open communication and embracing diversity. Our sworn force of 180 officers serves a community of approximately 110,000 residents. For many years, the Elgin Police Department has been practicing a community policing philosophy that has had a tremendous impact on crime in our community. Currently our crime rate is at a 40 year low. By using an aggressive and practical policing approach that partners the department with community residents, businesses and civic organizations, we have all been able to improve our neighborhoods and city. The department's authorized sworn officer strength is 180 officers. We realize that in these times of fiscal challenges, we cannot expect to be provided with more officers, but we can be expected to adjust our business practices to become more efficient with the officers we have. Through technological advances and by staffing units with officers whose personal and professional strengths are in the areas they are working for, we believe this goal is being met.
