Homer Glen Police and Fire Contacts

Homer Glen does not have its own police department. The Will County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement for the village. For emergencies, call 911. The non-emergency number is 708-301-9274. There is also a Homer Glen sub station at 708-645-2512. If you need to report a non-emergency crime, file a complaint, or ask about police services in Homer Glen, use the non-emergency number or stop by the sub station.

Because police services come from the county level, records requests for police reports and law enforcement staff go through the Will County Sheriff's Office rather than Village Hall. Keep that in mind if you need police-related public records.

Fire protection in Homer Glen comes from three separate fire districts, depending on where you live in the village. The Homer Fire Protection District number is 815-838-5006. The Northwest Homer Fire Protection District can be reached at 815-838-0180. The Mokena Fire Protection District serves parts of the village at 708-479-5371. These are independent taxing bodies, not village departments, so they have their own budgets, boards, and administrative staff.

If you are not sure which fire district covers your address, call Village Hall and they can tell you. Your property tax bill also shows which fire district you pay into, which is another way to figure it out.

Public Records and FOIA in Homer Glen

The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) applies to Homer Glen village departments. Phone directories, staff contact lists, department budgets, meeting minutes, and contracts are all available on request. The village must respond within five business days. There is no charge to inspect records in person at Village Hall. Paper copies may carry a small per-page fee.

The Village Clerk at 708-301-0632 serves as the FOIA officer. Submit requests in writing with enough detail to help staff locate the records. Keep in mind that police records go through the Will County Sheriff's Office and fire records go through the individual fire protection districts, since those are not village departments.

Under the Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205), the village must keep all public records based on the state retention schedule. Old directories, archived staff lists, and past department documents cannot be destroyed without following the proper process.

The state contact page explains how FOIA works across Illinois and what options you have if a request is denied.

That resource covers the basics of the FOIA process, including timelines and the Attorney General's role in enforcement.
