Palos Park Police Need Help with 'Pooch Patrol'

PALOS PARK, IL — The Palos Park Police Department is asking for your help, and you may not even have to change your daily routine. Palos Park Police Department are looking for volunteers to join the Palos Park Pooch Patrol program.

The idea is to get as many eyes and ears on the lookout for suspicious activity in neighborhoods across the village.

“When they see something that doesn’t add up, call 911 because it’s probably an issue,” said Chief Joe Miller.

Statistically, people calling in reports to police are one of their biggest resources. Most solved crimes happen thanks to civilians reporting suspicious activity.

"We cannot be on every street and can not be in every neighborhood for the people, so they need to help us," said Police Commissioner Dan Polk.
