25 Flags. 25 Years. One Community.

The Village of Glendale Heights is seeking up to 25 volunteers to help carry American flags in honor of the 25th anniversary of September 11.

Volunteers should arrive at Village Hall at approximately 6:50 p.m. on September 11. We will walk a short distance together carrying the flags and then stand with them throughout the ceremony.

It’s a simple but meaningful way to honor those we lost, remember the heroes who served, and show that 25 years later, we will never forget.

Interested in volunteering?
Contact David Genty at [email protected] or 630-909-5348.

The Village of Glendale Heights will remember Patriot Day on Friday, September 11, with a silent parade of first responder vehicles from Reskin School, west bound on Fullerton Avenue to Village Hall, followed by a candlelight service at 7:15 p.m. on the front steps of Village Hall.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. We invite the Glendale Heights community to join us as we come together to honor the lives lost, recognize the courage and sacrifice of first responders, and reflect on the events that changed our nation forever.

Please join us for a moment of silence and reflection as we remember September 11, 2001. We will never forget.

For more information, please contact the Sports Hub at (630) 260-6060.

Fortunately this storm stayed North of us a little bit ago, but this is a good time to remind everyone the difference between a "watch" and a "warning".

SEVERE WEATHER WATCH: Conditions are favorable for severe weather to develop. A watch means stay alert and be prepared. Keep an eye on the weather and know where you will go if severe weather approaches.

SEVERE WEATHER WARNING: Severe weather has been detected or indicated by radar and is occurring or expected soon. A warning means take action now. Get indoors, move to a safe location and follow instructions from local officials and the National Weather Service.

Weather can change quickly. Don't wait until you see the storm to start thinking about where you'll take shelter.

Stay weather aware, Glendale Heights.

Let’s all paws for a moment… Police K-9 Ivy is THREE!

That’s right… three years of sniffing out trouble, finding lost individuals, posing for the camera and, most importantly, being there for the Village of Glendale Heights!

She’s officially 21 in dog years, so we’ll be treating her with the respect she deserves today: extra treats and extra belly rubs.

Happy 3rd birthday, Ivy! Stay pawsome, girl.

The is proud to introduce the Blue Envelope Program to Glendale Heights!

In partnership with The Autism Hero Project, this program is designed to help improve communication and create a more positive experience during traffic stops for individuals on the autism spectrum or those who may have other communication differences.

The blue envelope provides a simple way to share important information with a police officer. Drivers can keep their driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance card, and helpful communication information inside the envelope to provide to an officer during a traffic stop.

Every squad car will also be equipped with Autism Hero Project bags containing unique supplies to ensure smooth communication by all parties. Special thank you to Schnitzel Platz for sponsoring the bags for every squad car!

This program is about more than what happens during a traffic stop for our officers. It’s about building understanding, creating connections, and helping individuals and families feel more comfortable knowing that their local police department is committed to meeting people where they are.

Residents can pick up Blue Envelope materials at the Glendale Heights Police Department — 300 Civic Center Plaza, Glendale Heights, IL 60139. M-F 7:00AM to 7:00PM.
