🎉🚔 Congratulations, Joseph Viggiano! 🚔🎉
After 27 years of dedicated service to the Lincolnwood Police Department, Police Records clerk Joe Viggiano is saying goodbye to the LPD.
Records Clerk Viggiano began his career with Lincolnwood on May 24, 1999, as a Communications Operator. He briefly left the village in August 2000 but returned to Lincolnwood in May 2001 to begin his career as an LPD police officer. In 2016, Joe hung up his patrol vest and joined the Records Division as a Records Clerk.
During his time as an officer, Joe received a Class C Commendation, 13 Honorable Mentions, several Unit Citation Awards, and recognition from AAIM for his DUI enforcement. He was also a mentor to many throughout his career by serving as a Field Training Officer (FTO) and member of the LPD Honor Guard. In 2019, he was recognized as Employee of the Month for his outstanding work in Records.
But beyond the awards, accomplishments, and job titles, what we’ll remember most about Joe is the person he is. He has an incredible ability to make people feel welcome, cared for, and at home. He’s always been generous with his advice—whether it was about police work, records, cooking, or finance—and he has been a friend and a familiar face to so many throughout the department.
Joe, thank you for 27 years of service, friendship, laughter, mentorship, and memories. You have left your mark on the Lincolnwood Police Department, and you will certainly be missed around here. Congratulations on your retirement! We wish you nothing but the very best in this next chapter. ❤️
Once an LPD guy, always an LPD guy. 🚔💙
