Add your own fun or personal stories or thoughts about the Yorkville Police Department.
As you might know, Police Week kicked off on Monday. For a little backstory, in 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation that designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice during the week. Out here in Yorkville we wanted to show our Yorkville Police Department that we appreciate their work and service to us. Below are comments from the Yorkville Patch Facebook Page of residents sharing kind words towards the department during this special week. Feel free to add your comments …

Yorkville police responded in force to calls reporting someone with a gun in front of St. Patrick's Catholic Church on Monday afternoon.

Authorities are reminding motorists how to respond to unmarked police cars after a 33-year-old Sandwich woman reported being raped by a possible police imposter Tuesday evening.

The advice comes the day after a woman reported that a uniformed man driving a blue Ford Crown Victoria with red and blue flashing lights pulled her over on Griswold Springs Road near Plano. She reported that the man pulled a handgun and forced her into a nearby cornfield, where he raped and …
