Round Lake Beach Community Education

Community Action Teams (CAT) - The purpose of CAT is to organize concerned citizens into groups which can assist the police department as eyes and ears in the community they live. The first CAT was formed in 2006 in response to concerns expressed by residents of the Meadowgreen town home complex.

Gang Awareness Program (GAP) - Officer Grace developed this program in 2003 and Officer Greg Vanco has continued to present the program to classes at Beach and Eillis school.

 Crime Free Multi-Housing (CFMH) - Officer Grace began implementing CFMH in 2005. In conjunction with the Economic Development Department CFMH enables the Village Police Department to establish guidelines by which landlords can operate the business of operating rental properties in Round Lake Beach. The Village now expects landlords to have crime-free tenants and in the event that their tenants commit crime in Round Lake Beach, the Village requires the landlord to address the problem or face stiff penalties. This program is not merely about penalties, it is about a new relationship that has been formed between the police and the landlords, especially in regards to sharing information. To date no landlord has been penalized for failing to address a problem with their tenants, which means there has been 100% compliance.  The CFMS program is currently run by Officer Greg Vanco.

Shop with a cop in Round Lake Beach IL Shop-With-A-Cop - This program is made possible by numerous area departments and is intended to help underprivileged children receive a better Christmas. Children and families are transported to the local Wal-Mart by the police officers in police cars with "red-lights" flashing. Paid for by donations alone, once at Wal-Mart each child is allowed to purchase approximately $100.00 worth of items of their choice. Many children purchase obvious items such as toys, but even more are busy purchasing coats, socks, underwear, shoes, boots, gloves, and other badly needed items. Even if the child is close to exceeding the $100.00 limit, the child is encouraged to get something fun such as a toy.
