25th anniversary of 9/11 remembered tonight at the Centralia football game.

Tonight at the Centralia home football game, I was honored to be joined by several other First Responders in the Centralia area. Tonight we stood in remembrance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We remember all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on that day.
On the 25th of this month, I will do the same at the Salem home football game and I hope to see you there.
We are so blessed to have all our 1st Responders! God bless each of them

The profession of law enforcement requires adaptability, professionalism, and sound judgment. Here, Lt. Decker displays the many roles our Deputies must fulfill each day in service to the community.

Please keep our Deputies and all our local Officers in your thoughts and prayers that their experience and dedication will continue to guide them in wearing the hat needed for whatever challenge comes before them.

Congratulations Centralia Police Det. Nick Easley!

CPD would like to congratulate Det. Nick Easley for completing the criteria to receive his Tactical Patrol Officer (TPO) certificate and pin. The Illinois Tactical Officers Association’s (ITOA) TPO Program is a training and recognition initiative that provides training in a core group of tactical skill sets that will better prepare officers when confronted with unexpected, on-going violent criminal events and active threat situations. The skills learned enhance their daily survivability and tactical capabilities.
