The Village of Streamwood provides police, fire, and emergency medical services to its residents, businesses, and visitors through its public safety departments, including Police and Fire. The Village of Streamwood created this social media page so community members
could connect with the Village's Fire and Police Departments, and receive important and timely updates. The Village desires to promote an informative, respectful, and enjoyable online
experience for members of its social media community. The Village’s Public Safety social media page is intended to provide information for those interested in the Village and its related
services. While comments and interaction with the page are encouraged, this is a
moderated online discussion site and a limited public forum. The Village’s social media site(s) are not to be used for making an official report,

Village, including through the Village’s website (www.streamwood.org), by telephone
(630-736-3800) at Village Hall (301 E. Irving Park Rd., Streamwood, IL), or by contacting a
Village staff member directly at https://www.streamwood.org/government/village-directory
