Proclamation

2026-P-02

Whereas, the Village of Pingree Grove wishes to recognize and reward local residents who

achieve academic and athletic excellence from within our community; and

Whereas, Samantha Diehl a Pingree Grove resident and a sophomore student at Hampshire

High School, competes on the Whip-Purs girls wrestling team, contributing to an impressive overall team
record of 70–10, and earning a personal 2025–26 season record of 39–4, including 1st Place at Regionals
and 1st Place at Sectionals; and

Whereas, the Hampshire Whip-Purs girls wrestling team, led by Coach Matt Todd, made
history in February 2026 by securing first place in the 2026 Illinois High School Association Girls
Wrestling State Championship, finishing with 86 points—20.5 points ahead of second place; and
Whereas, the team’s exceptional performance resulted in four IHSA State Championship

medals, including three second-place finishers—Samantha Diehl, who earned 24 of the winning 86
points, Stella Piazza, and Amelia Nidelea-Polanin—as well as fifth-place finisher Annabelle Mueller;
and

Whereas, as a sophomore, Samantha demonstrates not only athletic excellence, but also
academic distinction by maintaining Super Honor Roll status, along with contributing to the community
through mentoring and volunteerism in wrestling-related programs and working part-time for the Huntley
Fire Protection District.
Now Therefore, Bet it Proclaimed, that I, Amber Kubiak, President of the Village of Pingree
Grove, Kane County, Illinois, o hereby recognize and honor Samantha Diehl for her outstanding athletic,
academic, and community achievements, and extend congratulations to the Hampshire Whip-Purs girls
wrestling team for their historic 2026 IHSA State Championship victory.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Village of

Homeowner Appreciation Concert Proposal

Date: Saturday, September 12th
Hours – 1 pm – 9 pm

Coon Creek Days decided to move their event from the second week of
August to the third week. Therefore, I had to find a new date for the
Homeowner Appreciation Concert.

This event will be similar to previous years. Below is a list of what the event
would include (additional items may be added as needed)

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Stage and Sound, with 3 bands
Bounce Houses – would be the same location as previous years
Local vendors, same as last year
Face Painter
Food Trucks – will comply with Village requirements
A mobile gaming truck
Alcohol is provided the same as last year
PD would be paid for same as last year. 2 officers for the duration of the
event and 2 additional officers for the period of alcohol sales.
• Cambridge Lakes Community Association would review and sign the
Village contract and provide the required COI before the event
• Any additional vendors that may be added to the event

007

Page 8 of 135

Lifestyle is asking the Trustee Board for the usage of the same areas as the
last two years, keeping everything close to the building and in front of the
fields.

*In the event of inclement weather, we would move everything indoors. We
do politely request that Food Trucks remain, as they can close their doors and
in – between rain, homeowners would patron the trucks should they choose to
stay.

Additionally, we request street parking for the event and the closure of the
parking lot.

We also request that NWLL has a blackout date for this event.

Thank you,
Michelle L. Arvanitakis
Lifestyle & Group Fitness Director
Cambridge Lakes Community Association

Community Lakes Community Association 5 k Proposal

Several Residents have requested having the Association host a community 5K run.

We are requesting permission to have the path blocked off on a given day (TBD) to host this
run.

Depending on the month, there would be a theme attached to the run. The path would
need to be marked for the mileage. I am looking into the timing chip tracks for the start and
finish

There would be a charge for residents and guests, for Bib numbers with chips and t-shirts
as run swag and any additional expenses. In order to hold this, there would need to be
solid interest and registration to ensure that this is cost effective.

We would request the assistance of Public Works to mark the path and the use of
barricades to block of the path. Additionally, we would request PD to assist with this as
well.

Thank you,
Michelle L. Arvanitakis
Lifestyle & Group Fitness Director
Cambridge Lakes Community Association

MEETING DATE:

ITEM:

WasteNot Franchise Agreement

MOTION:

I move to approve a Franchise Agreement with WasteNot for composting
services.

STAFF CONTACT:

Hannah Temes, Administrative Intern
Andy Ferrini, Village Manager
Laura Ortega, Village Clerk

Purpose:
The purpose of this agreement is to provide a composting services option to Village residents.
Background:
WasteNot is a Chicago-based composting company that provides municipal and commercial composting services. The
program will be offered to residents as a year-round, opt-in monthly subscription at no cost to the Village. WasteNot will
provide collection, transportation, and composting of all food scraps and other accepted compostable materials, to
participating residents at a monthly fee of $27 for one 5-gallon collection bucket, or $38 for two 5-gallon collection
buckets. WasteNot will collect full compost buckets and exchange them for clean, sanitized buckets. Compost pickup
will occur curbside every other week, coinciding with Friday refuse and recycling collection.
This would be a three (3) year agreement, with the option for the Village to renew services for up to three one-year
terms. Collection is done through all seasons, except on waste collection holidays as provided by the Village. The services
will also be limited to days approved by the Village.
A primary benefit of the WasteNot program is that participating residents can receive approximately 10–12 pounds of
finished compost annually. Residents who do not wish to receive the compost may elect to donate it to a local
community organization or garden.
After the contract is approved, in March/April, WasteNot and the Village will put out a shared press release about the
new service to the Village to advertise for sign-ups. Initial sign-ups will occur in March and April. In early May, WasteNot
will deliver the first buckets to residents that sign-up, and service will begin. There is no minimum number of residents
required to start service for the Village. Residents can sign-up for the service at any time.
Options:
1. Adopt the Wastenot Agreement for residential curbside pickup
2. Do not adopt the Wastenot Agreement residential curbside pickup
Financial Impact:
None
Recommendation:
Staff recommend adopting the agreement between Wastenot and the Village of Pingree Grove

RESIDENTIAL COLLECTION APPROACH
WasteNot uses an innovative approach to residential compost collection that is centered on
the engagement, convenience, satisfaction, and retention of our customers.
● Prior to Pingree Grove’s desired start date, WasteNot will establish an enrollment
period in which each eligible household will have the opportunity to enroll in the
food scrap collection program. Enrollment will remain open throughout the duration
of the partnership with Pingree Grove.
● Using an online signup form, each interested household will provide contact
information, payment information, and collection preferences. Then, a personal
WasteNot portal will be created, formalizing the resident’s membership.
● Based on initial enrollment, WasteNot will use its routing software to determine the
optimal routes and pickup days for each participating member.
● On the first service day, each member will receive their first 5-gallon bucket.
● During the week, the member will begin filling the bucket with any of the
compostable materials accepted by WasteNot (see attachment 1 for accepted
materials).
● As they are filling the bucket, members can store their bucket wherever they prefer,
indoors or outdoors. Customers can use the WasteNot Shop to purchase items like a
countertop caddy and compostable liners to make their experience even more
convenient. However, these items are not necessary.
● On each following service day, the member will leave their filled 5-gallon bucket in
the predetermined location of their choice. WasteNot will collect the filled bucket
and swap it out with an empty, industrially cleaned and sanitized bucket.
● This circular, swap-out system continues on the regularly scheduled days for as long
as the member opts into the program.
● Using their personal portal, a WasteNot member has the ability at any time to:
○ change, or cancel service
○ view their impact metrics
○ update their billing/contact information or change their service address

○ update their account preferences such as email, phone, and opt in for
reminders or notifications
○ refer and receive referral rewards
○ contact our support team and further engage with WasteNot
CONTAINER SIGNAGE
WasteNot recognizes that clean, attractive, and well-labeled containers are key to program
success. WasteNot uses a trusted vendor for its custom, weatherproof container signage
typically lasting longer than five years.
DATA, IMPACT, METRICS, & REPORTING
Food scrap collection is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to reduce a home,
business, or the Village’s environmental impact. Diverting food scraps from the landfill
prevents emission of methane gas, a greenhouse gas nearly 20 times more potent than
carbon dioxide. For every pound of waste the Village of Pingree Grove composts, the
equivalent of more than 1.75 pounds of carbon emissions are eliminated from the Village’s
footprint. The emissions reduction and positive impact on local air quality is even greater
after accounting for WasteNot’s use of an electric fleet instead of diesel trucks. WasteNot
weighs every account’s container at every collection to determine how many pounds of
compost are diverted each service. Using this detailed information, we are able to provide a
robust and interactive reporting system for the Village and its residents.
Metrics for Residents
At any time, residential members can log into their portal to view how much they have
composted, and the positive environmental impact it has. Reported metrics include:
● pounds of compost diverted from the landfill
● the carbon emissions equivalency of the amount diverted
● conversions of these stats that make the carbon emissions impact easier for
members to conceptualize, such as:
○ miles driven equivalency
○ gallons of gas avoided
○ seedlings planted
Metrics for Pingree Grove
WasteNot can provide impact reports quarterly or as often as requested by Village
administrators. An example report is attached (see Attachment 3). The impact reports will
include cumulative metrics encompassing all participating members and institutions in
Pingree Grove, whether that be residents, businesses, or Village facilities.
● Reports will include the number of participating residential and commercial
members,
● Reports will include the cumulative total of compost diverted from landfills (in lbs)
and the carbon emissions avoided as a result (lbs)

5
074

Page 75 of 135

● The primary objective of WasteNot’s reporting is to contextualize the impact of the
program and how it advances the Village’s overall sustainability goals. Upon request,
WasteNot can help convert the metrics it traditionally reports into those most
relevant to the Village.
● WasteNot can also advise on how best to communicate metrics to the public,
lawmakers, or other relevant parties.
● Individual commercial accounts always have access to their impact metrics, just like
residents. Upon request, WasteNot can provide the Village with impact reports
specific to particular businesses, institutions, or Village facilities.
RESIDENTIAL COLLECTION LOCATION
Top-of-Drive, Door-to-Door, and End of Driveway collection points are standard operating
procedures for WasteNot’s residential service. Members specify the exact location most
suitable for the container swap and are encouraged to upload a photo of this location to
their account. These procedures ensure seamless swaps that avoid unnecessary scheduling
and traffic impacts.
With an exclusive agreement, WasteNot will require a standardized location for residential
collection. Should the Village enter an exclusive agreement with WNC, WNC will work with
the Village to determine the standardized location.
COMMERCIAL COLLECTION LOCATION
WasteNot is willing and able to provide collection service for any commercial partner in
Pingree Grove in the rear of the business premises.
PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PROGRAM
WasteNot employs a full service marketing team that is ready and able to provide Pingree
Grove with Village website landing page design, program educational materials, and more
to ensure that the residents of Pingree Grove are aware and educated on WasteNot’s
curbside collection service.

Scope of Services - Performance Requirements
RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE
● WasteNot has a team dedicated to customer service that is able to answer any
questions members have about service, container swaps, and acceptable items, and
ready to assist members with any account inquiries/needs.
● WasteNot has an internal policy that all customer service requests get
acknowledged and answered within 24 hours. Our typical response time is much
quicker, with an average response time of less than 4 hours.
● In addition to our dedicated support team, we run a daily dispatch system that
provides a constant line of communication between our drivers and support team
while service routes occur. This allows us to prevent most issues before they even
arise, and equips our drivers with the ability to correct most customer service
requests immediately as they come in.
● A primary focus of our vetting, hiring, and training processes for drivers is the ability
to provide outstanding customer service. These processes allow our drivers to serve
as an extension of our in-office support team and ensure customer satisfaction is at
the forefront of WasteNot’s operations. Our drivers are equipped to answer nearly any
question a customer might have and their personability is frequently cited in positive
reviews of WasteNot’s service.
● WasteNot uploads photos of every container swap to ensure a successful service.
Not only does this tool provide us with the information necessary to resolve issues
quickly and accurately, it gives us a historical record we use to ensure service
remains consistent week-to-week.
● To facilitate quick receipt and resolution of customer requests, WasteNot built a
customer portal that allows members to handle common support requests on their
own, if they so choose. This includes actions such as canceling service, viewing
upcoming and past service days, determining accepted items, and tracking
environmental impact.
● WasteNot has a custom, automated reminder system that members can opt to use.
The system sends text messages and/or emails directly to members to remind them
the night before service occurs.
PROTECTION OF PROPERTY
WNC shall take all reasonable actions to avoid damage as a result of its operations including
damage to existing sidewalks, curbs, streets, alleys, trees, parkways, pavements, utilities,
adjoining property, and the property of the Village and others. WNC agrees to repair any
damage thereto or replace damaged items specifically caused by WNC’s operations.
AUTHORIZATION
WNC agrees to provide food scrap collection unless authorization to suspend collection is
obtained from the Village. This authorization may be verbal, by the request from the firm and
the authorization by the Village.

Village Board Agenda Supplement
Agenda Item No: 7.b.
March 16, 2026
An Ordinance Amending Village Code Title 9 Water and Wastewater, Chapter 3
Fees, Rates and Charges, Section 9-3-1, Subsections D. and E.
I move to approve an ordinance amending Village Code Section 9-3-1:
Combined Water and Sewer Service Charge, Subsections D. User Rates, and E.
Additional Fees for All Users, of Title 9 Water and Wastewater, Chapter 3 Fees,
Rates and Charges.
Andy Ferrini, Village Manager
Albert Walczak, Finance Director

Purpose:
Consider proposed changes to the Village’s code as it pertains to the combined water and sewer service charge.
Background:
Every seven years, the water and sewer service charge calculation in the Village Code must be updated. The
current calculation began on November 1, 2019, and was based on the previous year’s Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for water and sewer. Under the existing Ordinance, the water and sewer service charge increases each year on
November 1 by the greater of the prior year’s CPI or 2%. The Village Code authorized these annual adjustments
through November 1, 2025, with the resulting rate schedule remaining in effect through October 31, 2026. To
keep the water and sewer service charge calculation current, the Village Code must be amended to allow the
annual adjustments to continue through November 1, 2033.
The proposed Ordinance would maintain the existing policy of increasing the usage rate annually by the greater
of 2% or inflation, while adding a maximum annual increase cap of 7%.
Options:
1. Approve the Ordinance amending the Village’s Code
2. Do not approve the ordinance amending the Village’s Code. Staff will await further direction from the
Village Board.
Financial Impact:
Steady increases in utility fees are important for any Village to keep pace with both anticipated and unanticipated
inflation, and the rising costs associated with operating and maintaining water and sewer systems. This is
particularly important for Pingree Grove given the significant water and sewer infrastructure obligations the
Village must continue to construct, operate, and maintain, including the WWTP, Water Tower 2, and other related
facilities.
Recommendation:
Staff recommend the approval of the ordinance amending the Village Code.

Pond Maintenance Discussion

MOTION:

None, Discussion

STAFF CONTACT:

Andy Ferrini, Village Manager
Pat Doherty, Public Works Director

Purpose:
To discuss the process for a pond maintenance feasibility study within the Village. A study is being
considered to better understand the long-term and ongoing maintenance needs of the ponds.
Background:
Currently, there are 16 ponds within the Village of Pingree Grove that the Village is responsible for
maintaining as part of its stormwater management system. There are other “ponds” throughout the
Village; however, they are either private or federally protected wetlands that we are not authorized to
treat.
A pond feasibility study would evaluate conditions such as sediment accumulation, assess whether and
when dredging may be necessary, and identify a long-term and sustainable maintenance strategy for the
Village’s pond system.
The Village currently performs maintenance activities to support pond function, including treatments to
maintain ecosystem health, reduce erosion, and ensure the ponds continue to function properly for
stormwater management. These efforts are typically performed on an as-needed basis. A feasibility
study would build on these existing maintenance practices by providing a more comprehensive longterm understanding of pond conditions and helping to prioritize and plan future maintenance needs.
Options:
1. Obtain proposals for a pond maintenance feasibility study.
2. Continue current treatments with occasional special projects as identified by staff.
Financial Impact:
1. ± $50,000 from Special Service Area (SSA) Funds in fiscal year 2027
Recommendation:
Staff recommend soliciting proposals to see what options are available for further analysis of pond
maintenance.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT
LETTER TO THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND RESIDENTS
This 2025 Annual Report outlines the achievements, progress, and ongoing efforts of the Pingree
Grove Police Department as we uphold our commitment to delivering excellent service to the
Village of Pingree Grove. Nationwide, law enforcement agencies face ongoing challenges, including
recruiting and retaining qualified officers, maintaining officer wellness and morale, and proactively
addressing shifting crime patterns. Despite these obstacles, the Pingree Grove Police Department
continues to prioritize proper training, equipment, and readiness to meet the needs of our
expanding community.
I sincerely thank our sworn officers and professional support staff for their steadfast dedication,
professionalism, and service to residents and those seeking police assistance. Our mission is to
serve with integrity and dedication, preserve life, enforce the law, and collaborate with the
community to improve the quality of life in Pingree Grove, and this remains central to our daily
actions and interactions.
Throughout 2025, the Police Department focused on enhancing organizational stability and future
readiness through strategic hiring, extensive training, succession planning, and ongoing
operational reviews. We continued our valued partnerships with community groups such as Special
Olympics of Illinois and the Shop With A Cop Foundation, while actively involving residents through
events such as Touch-A-Truck, the Independence Day celebration, National Night Out, and the
annual tree lighting ceremony.
I want to express my gratitude to Village President Amber Kubiak, Village Manager Andrew Ferrini,
the Board of Trustees, and all of the Village staff for their ongoing support, collaboration, and trust
in the Police Department. Together, we are dedicated to enhancing public safety, building
community trust, and promoting the Village of Pingree Grove's growth and success.

Respectfully submitted,

MISSION / VISION STATEMENT / CORE VALUES
Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Pingree Grove Police Department to provide services with integrity and
dedication, to preserve life, to enforce the law, and to work in partnership with the community to
enhance the quality of life in the Village of Pingree Grove.
Vision Statement
Through innovative thinking and goal setting, we are committed to delivering unparalleled service
to our community. We will continue to strengthen community relationships and public trust while
striving for excellence through employee development, self-discipline, and strong leadership.
Core Values
Integrity – We are committed to the enforcement of laws and the preservation of order and
property. We are honest, truthful, and consistent in our words and actions, and therefore worthy
of the public’s trust. We exercise discretion in a manner that is beyond reproach. We do not accept
gifts or special considerations as a consequence of our office.

understand that our appearance, words, and demeanor contribute to the public’s confidence in
us. We are responsive to the community and deliver services promptly and efficiently.
Fairness and Impartiality – We act with fairness, restraint, and impartiality in carrying out our

and unconscious biases. We understand that our actions, combined with the way we treat
members of the community, contribute to our “legitimacy” in the eyes of the public.
Teamwork – We work together as one organization in carrying out the mission of the department;
our respective units do not act as distinct “silos” from one another. As individual members of the
department, we are respectful to each other and work collectively to solve problems and serve
the community.
Efficiency – We keep abreast of standard procedures, legal issues, and innovative topics in modern
policing through regular training. We exercise rigor in thinking strategically about identifying
trends, exploring alternative solutions, and solving problems.
Advocacy and Empathy – We have compassion for victims of crime. As members of the
community, we have respect for and promote the diversity of the community. We advocate for
social and other supportive services for victims, youth, and others involved in the criminal justice
system.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT

VILLAGE OF PINGREE GROVE MAKES

City safety rankings primarily depend on the most recent FBI crime data (2024 figures published in
2025), combined with demographic information and a proprietary safety study. These rankings
classify cities as either “safest” or “dangerous” strictly based on reported crime rates and do not
attempt to characterize communities beyond these figures. In 2025, the Village of Pingree Grove
was ranked the 2nd safest city in Illinois.
The analysis relies on crime data voluntarily provided by jurisdictions via the FBI’s SRS and NIBRS
systems. Cities might be excluded if they do not submit complete data or have populations below
a state-specific threshold. To minimize the influence of statistical outliers, only cities with
populations exceeding the state’s median reporting population are included.
Since reporting is voluntary and factors like commuter populations, college campuses, or prisons
can influence per-capita crime rates, the rankings might not fully capture all community conditions.
However, FBI data is used to ensure consistent comparisons across the country.

Over the past five years, the Pingree Grove Police Department has seen a steady rise in calls for
service, driven by community growth and higher demand for police assistance. Call volume grew
from 3,249 in 2021 to 3,458 in 2022, then jumped to 5,090 in 2023. Although there was a slight
drop to 4,830 calls in 2024, activity increased again in 2025 to 5,150, the highest in five years.
Since 2021, annual call volume has increased by about 45%, adding nearly 2,000 calls.
This ongoing growth has directly affected department operations. Increased call volume means
more officer dedicated to responses, investigations, reports, and follow-ups. As residential and
commercial development rises in Pingree Grove, the need for patrols, traffic enforcement,
proactive policing, and community engagement has grown accordingly. Although 2024 saw a slight
stabilization, the overall demand for services remains much higher than before 2023, creating a
new, elevated operational baseline.
The Pingree Grove Police Department is continuously assessing staffing levels, training
requirements, deployment strategies, and resource distribution to stay responsive, professional,
and capable of addressing the community's changing needs.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
Outpost Tavern Burglary – Officers responded to an alarm at the business and found it had been
broken into. During the response, a KCSO Deputy located a vehicle in a nearby farm field. The
vehicle exited the field and fled, prompting a chase. The vehicle eventually crashed; one subject
fled the scene, while another was injured, identified, and taken to the hospital. Two offenders were
identified as members of a known burglary crew. The Illinois Gaming Commission was investigating
this crew and eventually took over the case. The two involved individuals have since been charged
with this burglary and several others and are awaiting trial.
Deceptive Practices – An unknown individual contacted the local Dunkin' and told the employee
they were a member of Dunkin' Corporate. The person convinced the employee to withdraw
several hundred dollars, go to another location, and deposit the money into a cryptocurrency
Bitcoin account. The offender(s) were located outside of the US.
Deceptive Practices – A resident provided personal banking details to an unknown individual
claiming to be from the US Postal Service. The subject then withdrew several thousand dollars from
the account. The offender(s) were traced to locations outside of the US.
Stolen Motor Vehicle – A contractor in town parked his vehicle on the street for the dealership to
pick up with a tow truck for repairs. Weeks later, the owner contacted the dealership, which stated
that the tow truck driver had not been able to locate the vehicle. The vehicle remains missing, and
the dealership has since closed. Several additional attempts to locate the vehicle have also been
unsuccessful.
Fraud – Unknown individuals obtained a resident's replacement debit card, leading to several
thousand dollars in unauthorized purchases. All efforts to locate the offenders have been
unsuccessful and have required investigators to travel out of state.
Aggravated Domestic Battery and Theft – The resident's boyfriend was charged with aggravated
domestic battery and escaped the state using the victim’s vehicle. Warrants were issued, and
authorities tracked the vehicle and suspect out of state. The offender was eventually detained and
brought back to Illinois to stand trial.
Harboring a Runaway – After several attempts to locate a runaway, the subject was finally found.
The individual was charged with harboring a runaway, and the runaway was returned.
Outpost Tavern Burglary – Officers responded to a business alarm. Upon arrival, they heard
commotion inside and called for additional assistance. Entry was secured, and after a thorough
search, the suspect was found hiding in the attic. The offender was charged with burglary and is
currently awaiting trial.

Fraud/ID Theft – Someone unknown used a resident’s name and personal details to apply for an
apartment in Florida. The suspect was located out of state, and the case was referred to the
relevant agency.
Criminal Damage to Property – A family member damaged a resident’s vehicle and then left the
scene. The subject was later found and charged with the crime.
Harboring a Runaway and Obstructing Justice – After several attempts to locate the runaway, they
were finally found. An officer saw a vehicle leaving the residence, stopped it, and discovered the
runaway in the trunk along with the same person involved in April. Both the driver and the
individual were charged, and the runaway was returned.
Animal Neglect – A resident with a drug addiction and mental health issues allowed their dog to
run loose and refused to reclaim the animal. The resident was charged with animal neglect, and
the dog was subsequently handed over to a family member.
Burglary to Motor Vehicle (3), Criminal Trespass to Vehicle (2), Suspicious Incident (2) – Several
incidents involving burglary and trespass to motor vehicles, as well as a suspicious incident
captured on video, are believed to be interconnected. Efforts to locate or identify the offenders
have thus far been unsuccessful.
Burglary to Motor Vehicle, Suspicious Subjects, Recovered Stolen Vehicles (2) – The officer
responded to the area but was unable to locate the offenders. Later that morning, two juveniles
were found in town but could not be positively identified as the offenders. Later that day, two
stolen vehicles were found a few blocks from the burglary scene; these vehicles had been stolen
from the same town where the juveniles reside. Information regarding the stolen vehicles was
shared with the agency in the original town for further investigation.
Fraud – Unknown subject(s) gained access to the resident’s bank account and made several
thousand dollars in unauthorized purchases. Offender(s) were tracked out of state, and the case
was referred to a prospective agency for follow-up.
Criminal Damage to Property and Illegal Possession of a Firearm – Officers responded to a local
business for a verbal domestic incident where the male half damaged the female’s vehicle and fled.
The female reported that the male was also carrying a firearm. With help from KCSO, the male was
found nearby, taken into custody, and charged with both crimes.
Attempted Deceptive Practices – A subject claimed to sell farmland, asserting they represented the
owner. However, further investigation revealed that the owner was unaware of the property and
was not involved in any sale. The offender could not be identified.

Deceptive Practices – The resident fell victim to the Microsoft Virus scam and lost thousands of
dollars. The offender or offenders were identified and tracked outside the US.
Illegal Possession of Stolen Firearm – Officers received information about a juvenile with a firearm
at a local park. They found several juveniles there, and further investigation revealed one in
possession of a stolen firearm. The juvenile faced multiple charges and was referred to KC Juvenile
Court.
Harboring a Runaway – Several checks of an area in town for a runaway led to a juvenile being
charged with Domestic Battery against the runaway and Harboring a Runaway. The runaway was
found and brought back.
Traffic Crash and Filing a False Police Report – Officers responded to a single-vehicle traffic crash
but found that the incident didn't match the initial report. After further investigation and reviewing
videos from nearby businesses, it was confirmed that the individual provided false details about
the crash. The subject was charged with multiple traffic violations and filing a false police report.
Criminal Sexual Assault, and other charges
Between July and November 2025, the Police Department investigated five incidents involving a
male suspect in town who assaulted and sexually assaulted females at his residence. In two cases,
the victims did not cooperate, leading to no charges. The remaining three cases involved victims
who cooperated and were willing to sign complaints. The suspect was charged in these three cases
with Battery, Domestic Battery, Aggravated Domestic Battery, Kidnapping, Unlawful Restraint, and
Sexual Assault. He is currently in jail awaiting trial.

ARRESTS
Sometimes, arrests become unavoidable. In such cases, officers are diverted from their regular
calls to transport inmates, process arrestees, and occasionally wait for approval from our State’s
Attorney’s Office for higher felony charges.
Nationally, in 2025, there were 133 arrests, covering both traffic and criminal law violations. This
number is higher than in previous years, and the crimes involved have become more serious. The
increase in arrests also correlates with the higher number of full-time officers compared to earlier
years. Further arrest information can be found on the Pingree Grove Police webpage under the
Arrest Blotter.

The addition of new vehicles to the fleet has allowed older units to be removed from daily patrol
service and reassigned for court appearances or training. As more vehicles are acquired, additional
aging units will be rotated out of frontline duties. This strategy cuts overall maintenance costs by
limiting the number of vehicles in constant daily use, thereby reducing repair frequency and
expenses. With the increase in personnel, vehicles are now assigned to only two officers instead
of operating around the clock. This decreased usage minimizes wear and tear, extends vehicle
lifespan, lowers maintenance needs, and helps maintain overall condition for future resale or
trade-in value.
In 2025, the Pingree Grove Police Department updated its vehicle graphics by adding a “shadow
decal,” also known as ghost lettering. This design appears only when light hits the vehicle at
specific angles and was intentionally implemented to improve traffic enforcement. Its subtle
appearance helps officers more easily spot and identify traffic violations early, before drivers
notice a marked police vehicle.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
RECORDS REQUEST
Our police officers are constantly busy with calls, investigations, and arrests. Meanwhile, our
Records Staff actively handles data entry, assists officers by gathering information, and manages
court requests for upcoming cases. Additionally, they devote considerable time to processing
numerous requests, including Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, inquiries from the
Department of Children and Family Services, background checks, requests from the State’s
Attorney’s Office, and other requests received throughout the year.
A FOIA request allows individuals to obtain copies of agency records. It has become an important
means of gathering information about community reports. In recent years, we have seen a notable
rise in FOIA requests. Processing these requests takes time because personal details such as birth
dates, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive information must be
redacted. Moreover, juvenile data, including names, addresses, and statements, must be omitted
unless an exemption applies. It can take from one hour to several days to locate, compile, redact,
and verify the removal of sensitive information.
Requests for body-worn camera footage under FOIA pose unique challenges due to the extensive
review and redaction required to safeguard sensitive data. Each video requires careful inspection
to blur faces of uninvolved people, juveniles, victims, medical info, computer screens, license
plates, and other protected details. Unlike document requests, video reviews happen in real time,
so one hour of footage might take several hours of staff effort to process, redact, and verify before
release. Consequently, agencies often spend a lot of staff hours, much more than traditional FOIA
document requests, on managing body-worn camera footage, adding extra pressure on
administrative and operational resources.

RECORD-BREAKING SUPPORT FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS OF ILLINOIS

The Pingree Grove Police Department raised over $15,000.00 in 2025 for Special Olympics Illinois,
the most the agency has ever raised. This reflects the generosity of residents, businesses, and
officers. As a result, the police department's name will be on this year’s official Special Olympics
shirts sold statewide.
Special Olympics Illinois offers year-round sports training and competitions for children and adults
with intellectual disabilities, promoting inclusion, confidence, physical fitness, and community. It
empowers thousands of athletes across Illinois to compete, build friendships, and showcase their
abilities rather than their limitations. Beyond sports, it fosters leadership, health, and community
programs.
Law enforcement agencies in Illinois support the Law Enforcement Torch Run as the “Guardians
of the Flame.” Officers raise funds and awareness through events and partnerships to strengthen
community bonds. Each dollar raised directly supports Special Olympics athletes and creates more
opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities across Illinois.
We are extremely proud of this record-breaking year and are eager to continue and surpass this
level of support in the future. Upcoming Special Olympics fundraisers will be announced on the
Pingree Grove Police Department’s official social media channels.
We invite everyone to support this effort by buying the latest Special Olympics shirt, which
features the Pingree Grove Police Department’s name on the back. Together, we can keep making
a positive impact on the lives of these inspiring athletes.

Awareness Month in October. As part of this effort, officers wore special pink uniform patches
throughout the month to show support for those fighting breast cancer, honor survivors, and
remember those lost to the disease. The patches served as a visible sign of the Department’s
dedication to raising awareness and supporting breast cancer-related causes.
Pink patches were sold to the community for $6.00 each at the Pingree Grove Police Department
during regular business hours. Part of the
proceeds was allocated to support a breast
cancer awareness campaign linked to the Pink
Patch Project.
The Department’s involvement in this initiative
was made possible by the generous donation
and ongoing support of the Carillon Car Club.
Their contribution helped bring the project to
life and demonstrated a strong partnership and
shared dedication to creating a positive
community impact.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT
PINGREE GROVE WELCOMES AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS

In 2025, the Pingree Grove Police Department signed a contract with Flock Group, Inc. to install
fourteen Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) units at key locations across the community. The
system was activated in November 2025, with an initial approval lasting two years.
ALPR technology captures images of vehicle license plates and uses specialized software to
compare license plate numbers against vehicle databases of interest. When a potential match is
found, usually within seconds, alerts are generated. These alerts can come from national and state
databases, such as NCIC, LEADS, and AMBER Alert notifications. Officers may also manually input
vehicle details provided by victims or witnesses to support ongoing investigations. Although the
system automates detection, officers are responsible for independently verifying each alert before
taking enforcement action.
To promote transparency and accountability, the Department offers an ALPR Transparency Portal
on its website. This portal shows statistical details about the collection, storage, and authorized
use of ALPR data in the Village of Pingree Grove. The publicly available data includes only the date
and time of a vehicle query and the recorded reason for the search. All other information is kept
confidential to protect privacy and ensure compliance with laws and policies. The portal's data is
updated on a rolling 30-day cycle.
Flock Safety reviews and publishes success stories involving ALPR technology on the Transparency
Portal in accordance with standard procedures. The Police Department cannot independently
upload or modify these entries, maintaining consistent oversight of the published content.

2025 ANNUAL REPORT
ELECTRONIC TICKETING & DACRA IMPLEMENTATION

In 2025, the Pingree Grove Police Department officially launched its long-awaited Electronic
Citation (E-Citation) Program using DACRA Tech software. After nearly 10 years of efforts to
develop an electronic ticketing system, the Department is now fully operational and can issue
electronic state traffic citations, village ordinance violations, crime-prevention notices, and written
warnings directly from squad cars. All marked police vehicles are equipped with in-car printers,
enabling officers to complete and print citations on scene.
DACRA is an all-in-one violation management system that handles every stage of citations, from
issuance and routing to the appropriate venue, to adjudication, compliance tracking, payment,
and unpaid fine collection. The three-year Master Software Licensing Agreement offers a unified
platform for Police and Code Enforcement activities. It keeps detailed citation histories, creates
necessary notices and forms, and complies with all state reporting laws, including racial profiling
and pedestrian stop reports. Additionally, it incorporates enforcement features like ordinance
management, license suspension processing, and participation in state collection programs.
For more than eight years, the Department has been working with Tyler Technologies to develop
an E-Citation program, collaborating with the Kane County Sheriff's Office and the Kane County
Circuit Clerk’s Office. Although there have been multiple attempts since 2017 and renewed efforts
in later years, progress was hindered by ongoing judicial issues and limited support. Facing
repeated setbacks, the Village Administration and the Police Department explored alternatives
and concluded that DACRA offered a more dependable and comprehensive platform, particularly
because of its integrated adjudication features.
Switching to electronic ticketing greatly improves operational efficiency and accuracy. Officers can
issue citations more quickly and return to patrols sooner, reducing roadside exposure and traffic
disruptions. Electronic entry reduces human errors in handwritten citations, such as illegibility and
incorrect details, and also reduces administrative tasks, such as manual data entry and document
storage. Additionally, the system fosters professionalism and uniformity across all citation types.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
ELECTRONIC TICKETING & DACRA IMPLEMENTATION (CONTINUED)
Alongside the software implementation, Village staff are collaborating with legal counsel to
develop a local Administrative Adjudication Ordinance. This ordinance will enable some violations
to be addressed at the municipal level instead of through the County court system, offering
increased local oversight and greater convenience for residents.
The 2025 rollout of DACRA marks a significant milestone for the Pingree Grove Police Department,
enhancing enforcement efforts and boosting service, efficiency, and accountability in the
community.

POLICE CHAPLAINS

Father David Finn

Pastor Joe Meyer

Pastor Thomas Eaves

The Pingree Grove Police Department has recently appointed three volunteer police chaplains to
provide spiritual guidance and emotional support to officers and community members during
times of crisis or need. This initiative aims to enhance the well-being of department staff and assist
residents in difficult situations.
The department’s chaplains include Father David Finn from St. Charles Borromeo Church, Pastor
Joe Meyer from Church On The Rock, and Pastor Thomas Eaves from St. Peter's Evangelical
Lutheran Church. Each brings extensive ministry experience serving their congregations and
communities. As police chaplains, they will provide guidance, encouragement, and support to both
officers and residents, with the goal of strengthening the connection between the police
department and the community it serves.

POLICE AND PURSUITS
The Pingree Grove Police Department Vehicle Pursuit Policy states that the safety of the public,
officers, and suspects takes precedence during any vehicle chase. Officers may initiate a pursuit
only if the urgent need to apprehend a fleeing suspect clearly outweighs the potential danger to
others. When deciding, officers must consider factors such as the severity of the crime, traffic and
weather conditions, population density, and whether the suspect can be identified and
apprehended later without a chase. The policy also advises against pursuing minor offenses and
limits the number of vehicles involved to minimize unnecessary risks.
During a pursuit, officers and supervisors constantly assess whether continuing the chase is
justified. Officers are required to drive cautiously, using emergency lights and sirens, and to
employ tactics aimed at minimizing danger. If the risks to the public grow or surpass the need to
apprehend the suspect immediately, the pursuit must be stopped. This method balances law
enforcement duties with community safety, allowing officers to enforce laws effectively while
protecting the public.

02/02/2025 – Call for Service: Burglary – Report #25-000377
PGPD officers responded to an activated burglar alarm at the Outpost Tavern (40W825 Oak Street).
Upon arrival, they discovered evidence indicating that a burglary had just occurred. Kane County
Sheriff's deputies located a suspect vehicle attempting to flee the scene. Following a brief pursuit,
the suspect vehicle crashed due to icy road conditions. One occupant fled the scene and evaded
apprehension, while the other suspect remained inside the vehicle. Officers on scene directed their
duty pistols at the suspect in the vehicle, uncertain whether the suspect was armed, and issued
verbal commands until the suspect surrendered and was subsequently taken into custody. The
individual was not injured by officers but sustained significant injuries as a result of the crash. No
officers were injured.

02/09/2025 – Call for Service: Assist Other PD/Suicidal Subject– Report #25-000462
A PGPD officer responded to help Gilberts Police at a residence in Gilberts, where they were
dealing with a suicidal individual involved in a physical altercation earlier. When the officer arrived,
the subject tried to escape by pushing a Gilberts officer and then running away. The PGPD officer
helped restrain the individual by holding him down and attempting to secure his arms for
handcuffing. Afterward, the officer assisted the subject to stand and escorted him to an awaiting
ambulance for mental health transport. No injuries occurred to officers or the subject.
03/29/2025 – Call for Service: Assist Other PD/Missing Person – Report #25-001101
PGPD officers spotted a vehicle in Pingree Grove, which Hampshire PD reported was involved in a
missing persons case. The driver was believed to have immediate access to a firearm, either on
him or in the vehicle. Upon locating the vehicle, PGPD initiated a high-risk stop, with two officers
drawing and aiming their guns at the suspect’s car. The suspect complied with commands, exited
the vehicle, and was taken into custody without incident. The female, identified as the missing
person, was also ordered out and was later handed over to Hampshire officers. The suspect was
unharmed, and no officers sustained injuries.
04/26/2025 – Call for Service: Burglary – Report #25-001512
PGPD officers responded to a burglar alarm at Outpost Tavern (40W825 Oak Street). Upon arrival,
they found signs of a recent break-in. The single suspect had not escaped but barricaded himself
in the attic to hide from officers. After a thorough search, officers located him. A PGPD officer
shined his flashlight on the suspect, whose hands were initially not visible. The officer aimed his
firearm at the suspect, ordered him to come out and show his hands, as it was unclear if he was
armed. The suspect initially hesitated but did not move. After further commands, he surrendered
and was taken into custody peacefully without injury. No officers were harmed.
05/07/2025 – Call for Service: Mental Health Transport – Report 25-001664
PGPD officers responded to a verbal dispute between a man with dementia and his wife near
Carolina Court. The man became confrontational, claiming the officers were not real police. He
then fled on foot without shoes or proper clothing. Concerned about his mental state, officers
followed him on the street. At one point, the subject attempted to enter a nearby house near
Americana that he was not familiar with. Fearing he might be harmed by an unknowing
homeowner, officers tried to take him into protective custody by holding his arms. The man
clenched his fists and pulled away. Despite this, officers kept hold of his arms and guided him to an
ambulance, where he attempted to kick and grab paramedics. He was eventually transported to

the hospital for mental health treatment. No injuries occurred to the subject, paramedics, or
officers.
05/25/2026 – Call For Service: Missing Person – Report #25-001935
PGPD officers responded to a residence on Cedarwood based on a tip from the missing person's
or victim's family, who believed she might be with several individuals trying to conceal her in a
vehicle's trunk. They found the car and, with additional information, confirmed that the victim was
in the trunk with the suspect. When officers opened the trunk, the suspect exited aggressively,
prompting a PGPD officer to draw and display a Taser, ordering him to comply. The suspect initially
resisted when two other officers tried to take him into custody, pulling away from them. He was
then escorted by both arms to a patrol vehicle, where he was pinned against it to prevent further
resistance until he could be safely handcuffed. The suspect did not sustain any injuries, and no
officers were injured during the incident.
06/17/2025 – Call for Service: Domestic – Report #25-002317
PGPD officers responded to a residence on Cape Cod Lane after a KaneComm dispatcher reported
arguing during a 911 call. Upon arrival, officers heard a verbal dispute behind the house and met
the victim, who said the suspect had locked himself in a bathroom before police arrived. When
officers called out to the suspect, he became irate, counting down (3-2-1) and warning he would
give officers one chance to leave. With vague threats, officers began to retreat from the doorway,
but before they could, the suspect opened the bathroom door and charged at them, puffing out
his chest and advancing again. Fearing for safety, an officer drew a Taser 10 and ordered the
suspect to stop. The suspect ignored the commands and started a countdown from 10, shouting
at officers to leave. Eventually, the suspect calmed down, and the officer re-aimed his Taser 10,
successfully detaining him without injury to anyone.
06/21/2025 – Call for Service: Assist Other PD/Burglary – Report #25-002367
A PGPD officer assisted Gilberts PD at the Mobil station located at 171 Higgins Road during a report
of a Burglary in Progress with a masked suspect still on scene. Upon arrival, the PGPD officer
observed Gilberts officers searching the area for the suspect. The suspect was later located hiding
in a dumpster outside the business. It was unclear if the suspect was armed, so the PGPD officer
pointed his duty pistol at him while a Gilberts officer lifted the dumpster lid. The officer also issued
commands for the suspect to surrender and show his hands. The suspect complied, was taken into
custody without incident, and no injuries occurred to either the suspect or officers.

07/06/2025 – Call for Service: Assist Other PD/Burglary – Report #25-002645
A Hampshire PD officer called nearby agencies for help after finding a suspect involved in a recent
vehicle burglary in Hampshire. A PGPD officer arrived at the scene, drew his weapon, displayed it,
and pointed it toward the suspect, who was then taken into custody. The suspect surrendered and
cooperated with the officers. During a search, the suspect was found to be armed with a knife.
Fortunately, neither the suspect nor any officer was injured.
07/12/2025 – Call for Service: Fight in Progress – Report #25-002713
A PGPD officer responded to a call for help from another officer who had just seen a physical fight
between two juvenile suspects. A crowd gathered around the suspects and the officer. When more
officers arrived, they separated the parties and tried to identify both juveniles. One juvenile
remained uncooperative and was told he would be taken into custody for multiple charges. He
then pushed and pulled away from officers and used inappropriate language to express his refusal
to cooperate. To prevent him from falling, a PGPD officer pushed him backward. The officer then
turned the suspect around and ordered him to put his hands behind his back. The suspect complied
and was detained. During the fight, the juvenile had a swollen, bloody lip but was uninjured by
officers. No officers were injured during the incident.
08/08/2025 – Call for Service: Assist Other PD/Domestic Battery – Report #25-003179
PGPD officers responded to assist the Kane County Sheriff’s Office at a nearby address on US
Highway 20 following a report of an ongoing physical domestic incident. It was reported that a
male suspect assaulted his mother. The KaneComm dispatcher heard signs of a physical struggle
on the phone before the line went silent. Upon arrival, PGPD officers, guided by the suspect’s
father, located the suspect. Officers circled around the back of the residence and saw the suspect
running toward a vehicle in the driveway and opening the door. To prevent him from fleeing or
accessing a weapon, officers shouted verbal commands and attempted to physically restrain him.
The suspect grabbed the steering wheel with both arms to prevent his removal and threatened
that officers would have to shoot him. Officers managed to overpower him using joint locks and
body control techniques and helped him to the ground. Once subdued, the suspect said, “okay, I
give up.” Officers then handcuffed him and sat him up, awaiting deputies’ arrival. The suspect
sustained minor injuries during the altercation with his parents but was not injured by officers. No
officers were injured during the incident.
08/09/2025 – Call for Service: Traffic Stop/Fleeing and Eluding – Report #25-003180

stop. The vehicle refused to comply and drove into the driveway on Westport Drive. The driver
exited the car and ignored commands to stop. He then walked toward his house and tried to unlock

the front door. Despite being told again to stop, he continued walking and was approached by the
officer, who attempted to arrest him. The suspect resisted physically, grabbing the officer’s arms,
pushing him away, and repeatedly asking what crime he had committed. This struggle occurred
several times, prompting the officer to request backup over the radio. Another PGPD officer
arrived, and the suspect continued resisting physically pushing, pulling, and refusing to surrender
verbally. Both officers ultimately managed to restrain the suspect against his vehicle in the
driveway. No injuries were reported to the suspect or officers.
08/19/2025 – Call for Service: Child Custody Offense – Report #25-003351
PGPD officers responded to a Child Custody Exchange on Evergreen Lane. During their presence,
two individuals began a verbal dispute. At one point, one person approached the other
aggressively, raising her hands and yelling, “get out of my house.” Fearing a physical confrontation,
a PGPD officer intervened by grabbing the aggressor's arm and pulling her away. The subject
cooperated for the rest of the encounter, and no injuries occurred to either the individuals or the
officers.
09/30/2025 – Call for Service: Suspicious Person/Armed Subject – Report #25-003995
PGPD officers responded to a call about multiple individuals with face masks behind the business,
Gather (14N205 Reinking Road), wearing camouflage and holding an unidentified object. Upon
arrival, they observed all three subjects holding what appeared to be assault rifles. As dusk
approached rapidly, the officer couldn't clearly determine whether the firearms were real. The
officer drew his duty pistol, keeping it low and not pointed at the subjects, and instructed each
person to slowly disarm themselves. They complied, explaining the guns were airsoft pellet guns.
The officer then ordered them to approach, reholstered his firearm, and conducted a pat-down for
additional weapons. When additional officers arrived, it was confirmed that all three guns were
airsoft pellet guns. The subjects were released with a warning about how their appearance might
be perceived by the public or police. No injuries occurred to any subject or officer.
11/01/2025 – Call for Service: Fight in Progress – Report #25-004424
PGPD officers responded to the area of Shelter Island Lane following reports of a physical fight
involving multiple people. When they arrived, they separated everyone; however, during the
statement-gathering process, a male and a female began arguing again. Officers identified the male
as the aggressor and took him into custody. While in handcuffs, the male was approached by the
female, who punched him in the head/face in front of the officers. The female then moved toward
the male again, and fearing another attack, the nearest officer used an open-hand palm strike on
her left shoulder and commanded her to “get back." She staggered backward but was quickly
detained by other officers on scene. No injuries occurred to officers or the individuals involved.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
ANIMAL CONTROL REPORT
In 2025, the Pingree Grove Police Department handled 145 animal-related calls. Many involved
locating dogs and cats that belonged to others. Of these, 3 animals were handed over to Kane
County Animal Control.
The department posts found animals on social media to inform the public that the animals are
safe. Most cases end with the pet being returned to its owner after officers check for a microchip,
preferably with the current owner's information. Officers can contact the microchip company to
retrieve ownership details, aiding in reuniting the pet with its family.
While in the care of the Police Department, officers must regularly check on animals and provide
food and water, which are supplied by the department. Officers also walk dogs during their shift
when time permits and care for the animals until the owner is found or they are transferred to
Kane County Animal Control.
Not all animals are domesticated, and some are not reclaimed by their owners. The police do their
best to return animals by scanning microchips and sharing information on social media.
Unfortunately, some animals are found injured and are euthanized, which is beyond our control.
Kane County Animal Control responded to three calls, resulting in the euthanasia of one cat and
two dogs.

PINGREE GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2025 ANNUAL REPORT
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION DROP OFF
The Pingree Grove Police Department recognizes the growing
concern surrounding prescription medication abuse and the
importance of proper disposal. Improperly discarded
medications can contribute to substance misuse and may also
pose environmental risks if they enter the water supply or
landfill system. To help address this issue, the department
provides a secure Prescription Drug Return Collection Box
located in the lobby of the police department.
Residents and nonresidents are encouraged to utilize this
service to safely dispose of expired or unwanted prescription
medications. Medications may be dropped off in their original
containers or as loose pills. The collection box is intended for
household prescription medications only. The Police
Department cannot accept vitamins, over-the-counter
medications, needles or sharps, thermometers, bloody or
infectious waste, medications from businesses or medical clinics, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans
or inhalers, ointments, lotions, or liquid medications.
This program provides a safe and convenient option for the community while helping reduce the
potential for prescription drug misuse and protecting the environment through proper disposal
practices.
