The Glenview Police Department non-emergency line is 847-729-5000. Police Chief William Fitzpatrick leads the department. The police station shares the same building as Village Hall at 2500 East Lake Avenue. The fax number for the police department is 847-729-9489. For any emergency, dial 911. The non-emergency line is for things like noise complaints, parking issues, and general questions.

The fire department answers at 847-724-2141. This number handles non-emergency calls about fire inspections, safety programs, and general questions. Glenview's fire service covers the whole village and parts of the surrounding unincorporated area. If you need a fire report or inspection records, start with this number. The department can also point you to the right forms if you need a permit for an event or construction project.

Both departments fall under 5 ILCS 140, the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. That means staff directories and phone lists for police and fire are public records. You can request copies through the village's FOIA process, which runs through the Village Manager's office.

Glenview FOIA and Records Requests

Public records requests in Glenview go through the Village Manager's Office at 847-904-4370. You can also submit FOIA requests online through the village website. Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), the village must respond within five business days. Phone directories, department rosters, and staff contact information are all considered public records.

There is usually no charge for simple requests. If your request involves a large number of pages or takes significant staff time to compile, the village may charge a small fee for copying. The clerk's office will tell you upfront if any cost applies before they process the request. Most routine requests are filled quickly and without issue.

The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires the village to keep and preserve all official records. This covers phone directories, meeting minutes, department contact sheets, and other government documents. Even older records that are no longer posted online can be requested through FOIA. The village archives these materials and makes them available to the public when asked.

The Illinois state government also provides resources for understanding your rights under FOIA and the Local Records Act.

The state's FOIA contacts page can help if you need to file a complaint about a denied request or want to learn more about the law.
