Palos Hills Police Equipment In Use

IN CAR CAMERA

In 1999, the Palos Hills Police Department purchased in car video cameras for all patrol and traffic cars. This enables us to tape traffic violations and traffic stops. (The system also tapes audio).
The system can be used when an officers conduct has been questioned. The tape can then clarify the incident.

RADAR TRAILER

In 1999, the Palos Hills Police Department purchased a radar trailer. It is a device that displays the speed of a vehicle to it’s driver. In a California study, the trailer was found to have reduced speeding from 77% over the limit to 22% over the limit. Studies have found that the trailers are particularly effective in school and construction zones.

We encourage residents to request the trailer be placed in an area they feel speeding is a problem. Call the station at 598-2272 to make the request for the trailer.

Enhanced 911

The Enhanced 911 (E911) system automatically retrieves information about the caller at the time of the call. A computer in the dispatch center shows the street address and the phone number where the call originated from. This is a valuable tool in locating emergencies when a caller cannot speak or does not know the address of the incident.
