Village of Round Lake Heights Police Department

The Round Lake Heights Police Department is made up of both part time and full time Officers. They are all highly trained State of Illinois certified Officers. Our Officers are committed not only to their profession, but to protecting the residents and anyone that may pass through our Village. Our mission is to protect everyone that we may come in contact with. We have a zero tolerance for drugs, gangs and domestic violence. Our Officers are provided with the latest training and the best equipment on the market.

Because Round Lake Heights has the only Round Lake Area Middle School, we have one full time Officer and a part time Officer assigned to the school. The Chief of Police and other patrol Officers also help with our two schools.

Our Governor recently awarded a State of Illinois pilot program to the Round Lake Heights Police Department. During the year 2006 two of our Officers started working on an internet gang program. As a result of this and the help of State Representative Ed Sullivan and State Senator Michael Bond, this program made it through the House and the Senate. On August 24, 2007 the Governor signed Public Act 095-0423 into law. This law established the Statewide Internet Gang Crime Unit. This is a three-year pilot program, but the Governor did not attach any funds to the bill. We are now trying to find the State funds to get this program up and running. We feel that this program will be groundbreaking and will be used to help all the residents of the State of Illinois.

Police Chief Don Johnson
I was born and raised in Lake County. I still live in Lake County and law enforcement has been my entire life. I live alone and have two grown sons living in Northern Illinois. I started my career with the Libertyville Police Department and retired from them in 1994. In the same year, I came to the Village of Round Lake Heights to be their Chief. My staff and I are highly trained, and continue our education every year.

I came up with the idea of a police show car and through my fund raising I was able to purchase a VW Bug a few years ago. This car has won many awards and trophies while attending parades and car shows throughout the State of Illinois. I am gone many weekends throughout the year with the car, and have never charged the Village for these trips. I help with several charity events every year. Some of these events include the Ride 4 Kids, Ride 2 Remember, Ride for Freedom, A.A.I.M. and many others. I am dedicated not only to my Village and the residents, but also to helping others along the way.

I keep an open door at the office and welcome anyone at anytime. If anyone ever has a problem or a question, I am here for them. >
