Solicitors and Peddlers

All solicitors are required to register with the Village. As per Chapter 34, solicitation is defined as seeking to obtain orders for the purchase of goods, wares, merchandise, foodstuffs, services of any kind (except seeking to obtain subscriptions to books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers and every other type of publication).  Upon registration, solicitors are provided with a paper permit showing the date(s) they are allowed to solicit. Solicitors must respect any resident’s home that displays a "no solicitors" sign. This section applies to business and commercial enterprises; see section 34.06 for not-for-profit organizations.  If you have any questions about someone who comes to your door or is in your neighborhood, call the Police Department non-emergency number at (815) 459-2151.   Solicitation Application Form

Premise Alert

The Illinois Premise Alert Program (Public Act 96-0788) provides for Public Safety Agencies in the State of Illinois to allow people with special needs to provide information to Police, Fire, and EMS personnel to be kept in a database. The information can then be provided to responders dealing with situations involving the Special Needs Individual.  Premise Alert Form
