Stickney Police Department (“SPD”) was formed in 1913 upon the incorporation of the Village of Stickney. Currently the Department is comprised of 23 sworn Police Officers, 12 Auxiliary (part-time) Police Officers and 14 civilian members.

The sworn officers of the SPD consist of the Chief of Police, 2 Deputy Chiefs of Police, 1 Sergeant, 2 Corporals, 2 K-9's and 16 patrol officers. A patrol officer is assigned to the Detective unit for 3 months at a time. The SPD is part of numerous task forces that operate in Cook County such as WEDGE,MCAT and WESTAF.

Auxiliary Officers are used to supplement the SPD. During summer hours there is a “Park Shift” which occurs primarily in the afternoon hours. The “POWER Shift” works throughout the year. Auxiliary Officers also provide assistance during parades, large scale events, etc.

Civilian members of the SPD include the Records Division and facility monitors which allow the police department to remain open 24/7.

Stickney Fire Department

The Stickney Fire Department came into existence in 1967. Prior to that date, the village was serviced by the City of Berwyn. The department presently consists of one full-time chief and approximately forty part-time/paid on-call members. There are four personnel on duty at the fire station at all times to take care of walk-in patients and to aid in the quick response of emergencies. The Stickney Fire Deparment averages 1200 calls per year between Fire and EMS.

The village has a class 4 rating with the Insurance Service Organization, an organization which grades fire departments to help determine insurance premiums on residences and businesses. 

The department provides not only fire protection, but also ambulance service and other services to village residents, such as lock-out of resident’s home, checking smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and assisting in community affairs. Periodic lectures are given to students in our local schools on fire safety and instructions are given to the teachers in the use of C.P.R. The SFD has two ambulances in service. This provides a back-up when one ambulance is on an extended call or when repairs and/or maintenance are needed.

The Fire Prevention Bureau of the department performs routine inspections of all industrial and commercial buildings in the corporate limits of the village. The department co-purchased with six other municipalities, a fire safety trailer to help instruct young students about safety in the home and to show them the proper use of the phone and also evacuation procedures in case of emergency.
