Chief's Welcome

Welcome to the official webpage of our city.

As the Chief of Police, I am privileged to serve and protect our community alongside the dedicated men and women of our police department. Our mission is to ensure every individual's safety, security, and well-being within our city. We are committed to fostering trust, promoting open communication, and collaborating effectively to create a safe and prosperous environment for all. The Prospect Heights Police Department employs a community-oriented policing strategy that prioritizes the establishment of collaborative partnerships between law enforcement officers and community residents. This approach is designed to proactively identify and address issues that contribute to criminal activity rather than solely responding to incidents once they occur.

As the Chief of Police, I am dedicated to fostering an atmosphere defined by safety, mutual respect, effective law enforcement, and strong collaboration between the department and the community we serve.

I believe that the role of a Police Chief involves establishing a legacy of trust, fairness, and service. I aim to ensure that every officer in our department is equipped, empowered, and motivated to serve with distinction. Moreover, I aim to showcase the exceptional quality of both our officers and civilian personnel.

I invite you to explore the information available on our webpage, pose any questions you may have, and engage with us in our efforts to enhance the quality of life in our city.

I appreciate your continued support and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Milorad Derman
Chief of Police
