Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I'd like to remind you that if you are headed out of town, and reside in our service area, consider requesting a House Watch. Random checks of your residence will be provided as time permits and we'll have your contact information if you need to be reached.

If you are interested in requesting a House Watch, contact our 911 Communications Center at 847-549-5200. They will ask you a series of questions to establish the House Watch.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Mark Curran

Thanksgiving traffic safety patrols begin Friday, November 16 and run through Monday, November 26, 2018. Funding for this traffic safety campaign is made possible through a grant provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Administration, and is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Thanksgiving Eve is fast becoming one of the biggest drinking days
of the year. We urge those who intend to drink on Thanksgiving Eve or any other day, to arrange for a designated driver or other means to get home safely. The Lake County Sheriff's Office wants everyone to make it to the table on Thanksgiving Day. Extra deputies will be on the roads to ensure motorists arrive safely to their destination.
