The front desk staff can point you to the right department or give you a direct number. If you call after hours, you will reach voicemail, and staff typically return calls the next business day.
Note: The Town Manager line at 309-454-9777 is a direct number that bypasses the main switchboard.
Police and Fire Contacts in Normal
The Normal Police Department non-emergency line is 309-888-5030. For administrative calls, the police business line is 309-454-9535, and that connects you to Police Chief Stephen A. Petrilli Jr. Use the non-emergency line for noise complaints, parking matters, and other issues that do not need a 911 response. The business line is better for follow-up calls, records requests, or questions about department policies.
Always call 911 for emergencies. That rule applies across all of McLean County, not just Normal.
The Normal Fire Department picks up at 309-454-9613. This line handles fire prevention questions, inspection requests, and general department inquiries. For an active fire or medical emergency, dial 911. The fire department runs several stations across town and provides mutual aid to neighboring communities including Bloomington.
Both police and fire dispatch run 24 hours a day. Administrative staff keep weekday hours. If you need to reach an officer or firefighter about a non-emergency matter after hours, the dispatch line can take a message or connect you with on-call staff when it is appropriate to do so.

Normal Staff Directory Online
The town maintains an online staff directory that lists department contacts, phone numbers, and in some cases email addresses for town employees. You can find it on the Normal town directory page.
That page breaks down contacts by department so you can find the right person without calling the main line first.
The online directory is updated regularly. If a phone number on this page does not connect you to the right office, check the town website for the most current listing.

For the most up-to-date info, the town site is always the first place to look.
FOIA and Records in Normal
The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) gives the public a right to request records from the Town of Normal. Phone directories, staff lists, and department contact sheets all qualify as public records. The town must respond within five business days. You can submit a request online through the Normal FOIA page or by calling the Town Clerk at 309-454-9509.
Under the Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205), the town is required to keep all public records and follow state rules for how long those records are stored. Phone directories and staff lists are part of this archive. If you need an older directory or a list from a prior year, a FOIA request through the clerk's office is the best path.
There is typically no charge for electronic records. Paper copies may have a small per-page fee. The clerk's office can tell you the exact cost before you commit to a request. Most simple requests are processed well within the five-day window.
Note: Online FOIA submissions through the town website are the fastest way to get a response from Normal.
State Phone Directory Resources
Normal residents can also reach state-level agencies through the Illinois state website. The Illinois state homepage is a starting point for finding phone numbers and FOIA contacts at the state level. State agencies follow the same 5 ILCS 140 rules as local governments, so the process for requesting records is consistent whether you are dealing with the town or a state office.
The state FOIA page provides details on how to file records requests with any Illinois state agency.
McLean County sits between the town and state levels. County records go through the McLean County offices. Town records go through Normal's own clerk. State records go through each agency's FOIA officer. Getting the right level of government on the first try means fewer transfers and faster answers.
