The Patrol function of the Worth Police Department is the front
line of protection for the citizens and businesses of Worth.
The Worth Police Department prides itself on timely responses
to calls for assistance. Patrol Officers monitor and enforce
traffic safety on the streets of Worth. Patrol Cars routinely
drive down side streets in town to guard the safety of Worth
residents. Business checks are performed regularly. If you are
a business owner or manager, the Worth Police has helpful suggestions
in minimizing burglary threats or limiting loss.
Community Service Officers
The nature of the duties of the community service officers is
generally those of assistance to the public. They can also assist
the patrol officers with traffic control situations like accidents,
school zones, traffic surveys and Metra traffic. They will also
provide security at the Water's Edge Golf Course.

Please
Dial 911

911
is NOT only for emergencies!
911 is for every time you want the police or fire
department to come to your home or investigate a situation.
The seven digit number does not call our dispatch center,
it calls the front desk of the police department. There
is a delay in relaying the information from our desk
to the dispatch center. If you are calling to reach
an individual member of the police department, then
dial (708)448-3979. Unlike Chicago, we do not
use 311 for minor calls for service. All calls for service
must go though 911.
