Round Lake Village Hall is at 442 N. Cedar Lake Road, Round Lake, IL 60073. The main administration phone number is 847-546-5400. Village Hall handles most government services for the village, and the main number connects to a system that can route you to the department you need.

Round Lake Police Department
The Round Lake Police Department is at Townline Road, Round Lake, IL 60073. The non-emergency phone number is 847-546-8112. Always call 911 for emergencies. The police handle crime reports, traffic enforcement, noise complaints, parking issues, and general safety matters through the non-emergency line.
The police department has its own records division. If you need a copy of a police report, an accident report, or other law enforcement records, call the non-emergency line and ask for records. There may be a small fee for copies. The department handles its own FOIA requests separately from Village Hall, so if you want police records specifically, send your request to the police department.
The Round Lake Police Department page on the village website has more details about programs, services, and how to file reports. They run crime prevention programs and community outreach that residents can take part in.
For situations that need a police response but are not true emergencies, use the non-emergency line. Things like a minor car accident with no injuries, a loud party late at night, or a suspicious vehicle in your neighborhood all go through the non-emergency number. Dispatch will send an officer based on the call priority.
Round Lake Fire Protection
Fire and emergency medical service in Round Lake is provided through a fire protection district rather than a village-run department. The fire district is a separate taxing body with its own board, budget, and staff. It covers Round Lake and parts of the surrounding area.
For fire emergencies, always call 911. For non-emergency fire questions like inspections, smoke detector programs, or fire safety information, you can contact the fire district directly. The fire district also provides ambulance and paramedic service in the Round Lake area. If you need a fire incident report or inspection record, contact the fire district office rather than Village Hall.
Because the fire district runs separately from the village government, its phone numbers and staff contacts are not part of the village phone system. You can call Village Hall at 847-546-5400 for help finding the fire district number if you need it.
Round Lake Public Works
The Round Lake Public Works Department is at 751 W. Townline Road, Round Lake, IL 60073. The public works phone number is 847-546-0962. This department handles street maintenance, snow removal, storm water systems, water and sewer lines, and general village infrastructure upkeep.
Water service in Round Lake runs through the village. Billing questions go through Village Hall at 847-546-5400. If you have a water main break or no water pressure, call public works during business hours. After hours, call the police non-emergency line at 847-546-8112 and they can get a crew dispatched. Sewer backups and storm water flooding problems also go through public works.
Snow plowing follows a priority route. Main roads and bus routes get cleared first. Residential streets come next. During major storms, the village posts updates on its website. Street repairs, pothole reports, and damaged sign reports can be called in to public works or submitted through the village website. They try to get to most issues within a few business days, though big jobs may take longer.
Garbage and recycling service in Round Lake follows a set weekly schedule. Your pickup day depends on where you live in the village.

FOIA and Public Records in Round Lake
The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) gives you the right to request public records from the Village of Round Lake.

You can submit a FOIA request in writing to Village Hall. There is no charge for looking at records in person. Paper copies may have a small per-page fee, while electronic copies are often free. The village posts some documents on its website, so check there first before filing a formal request. The Round Lake FOIA forms page on the village website has the forms you need to submit a request.
The state FOIA resource page above explains how the law works across all Illinois villages, including Round Lake.
The Illinois Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205) requires Round Lake to keep public records according to the state retention schedule. Old phone directories, past staff lists, and archived department rosters must be preserved or properly disposed of under state rules. If you need a record from years back, the village should still have it or can tell you where it went.
Keep in mind that police records and fire district records go through those agencies. If you need a police report, file your FOIA with the police department at 847-546-8112. Fire district records go through the fire protection district's own FOIA process, not Village Hall.
