Years ago officer road raged on me and pulled me over for zero reason. The officer passed me then slammed on breaks to pull me over. He screamed at me and illegally detained me for 30 minutes. FOIA requested info on my complaint and 90% of what I reported was not on the complaint and they found that no wrong was done. read more

Amazing service from the Sheriffs here. Got them called on us hanging out and honestly the most chill officers I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I come from a Blue family and I can truly say that they are truly some of the best of the best. Definitely love supporting our brothers and sisters in blue and these are truly gold standard sheriffs. God bless them and their families. #thinblueline #bluelivesmatter #godblessamerica #godblesstheworld read more

I called several days ago to report teenage drinking at a nearby house where there were no adults. The sheriff's department didn't even bother to come out. In addition, the dispatcher was incredibly rude and kept asking me questions, like what are the names of the teenagers in the house. She wanted to know what I was scared of and why I wouldn't tell her. I told her that I had given all the information I was comfortable with, and I didn't want any negative repercussions from calling the police. She said, "OK, but what are the names of the people in the house?" Why does it even matter? And how would I know anyway? I hung up being concerned for my privacy. If Don Kramer wants to get reelected, maybe his deputies should start investigating calls and his dispatchers shouldn't ruthlessly interrogate concerned citizens. On the other hand, if you're a teenager in Kane County, feel free to break the law and consume all the alcohol you want. Don Kramer doesn't care. read more

Honestly ... Who wants to get the call that someone needs you to bail them out. In my case I very simply wanted to aid this person but felt that if I got them released that would not be in their best interest. Instead I spoke the officer and he made me feel more comfortable about my choice to leave the individual behind bars. Negatives. I had to wait a while For the officer. It isn't like I want to hang around the police station all day, especially considering I am not the one in custody. Which is how I felt as I waited for help. The Elgin police are fantastic though. They were able to accomplish things in the particular case which I could have never done on my own. read more

Wonderful police department. I had an shooting in front of my house the other day, the officers respond quick & was more helpful than aurora police that took 30mins to show up. I want to say thanks for the quick response from Kane county, they my of saved my life by scaring the shooter away when he was reloading. The officers took the description & stayed the night in my neighborhood, something aurora police can't do because of payoffs. read more

Ah, good ol' Kane county jail. I spent a month and half confined behind your jail bar doors, and for what? A terrible mistake of taking some mushrooms after drinking all night and going out in public? That's"s nothing. Of all the I Illinois county jails I have been in(5) this was middle of the road. I had my "state-paid vacation" here in my late teen's. I was brought in dirty, and disheveled. Left in pretty much the same way. Funny thing is the wing I was in is referred as "the cabbage patch" because of all the young inmates in here. Upon release I came to find out that the corrections dept. is very far from my Chicago home(25+ miles). Luckily I had just enough in my pockets to get on a metra train to down town. Although that journey was fairly arduous in of itself. Lesson learned: Save the mushrooms, for a nice, sunny day not after drinking all night, and Never try to steal a mannequin from a dept. store. read more

I had 2 cars sitting outside my house. As the dispatcher put me on hold the tow truck came for what was a broken down car in fact. I told her when she came back on the phone and said we could wait a bit and i could call back and she was more than willing to send somebody or to check it out. The officer came right as they were leaving, but i felt better knowing they came. read more
