On July 4 eight Explorers volunteered four hours of traffic detail at the parade to control the crowd and
keep citizens safe. Eight Explorers also volunteered approximately eight hours of their time to help direct
traffic in the parking lots at the Sears Center for the 4th of July fireworks. There was a lot of positive
feedback for a job well done by all of the Explorers.

Sears Center loading zone on Saturday, July 5th and Sunday, July 6th. The Saturday detail started at
4:00 a.m. and both Explorers had worked the firework traffic direction the night before. They were on

LETTERS OF APPRECIATION
On July 31 resident Dane Buczkowski sent the following
email:
"I just wanted to thank the Hoffman Estates PD and
Officer Doherty for helping to resolve an issue with my
neighbors. Officer Doherty was extremely professional
and I commend him on his response and attention to this
matter. We have a neighbor with a large Doberman and
they did not think to was important to restrain the dog
and several times came into our yard . We have a 3-yearold who often plays in the back yard. Officer Doherty
empathized with us very much and handled the situation
expertly."
On July 6 resident Patrick Kinnane wrote Chief Hish the following
letter in part:
"I am writing to commend one of your police officers. The Officer is
Joe Kruschel. On July 4th I contacted the Hoffman Estates 911
Center to request an officer to respond to assist me regarding some
camp chairs that were taken from the curb in front of my house. "
"During the course of this entire incident Officer Kruschel was polite
and courteous. I was most pleased with the fact that he stayed with
the suspect's vehicle until she exited the store and determined that
she did in fact have the chairs at her residence. Officer Kruschel was
at all time professional and showed tremendous amount of respect
and understanding. I believe in this day and age we need our police
officers to set examples, embrace the community and provide a
sense of security for the residents and businesses. Officer Kruschel
has obviously not only been trained in law enforcement, but also how
to embrace the community and resolve situations, like the one I
encountered, to a successful conclusion. His actions demonstrated
the high standards that have been set by the Hoffman Estates Police
Department in regards to interacting with the community at large. I
hope that you will take a minute to recognize Officer Kruschel for his
diligence and compassion for all the parties involved in this incident.
He has left a lasting impression on me regarding how our law
enforcement professionals are to respond to situations. Thank you
Chief Hish for making sure that ou r community has a first rate, highly
trained police department. "

Hoffman Estates, IL 60169
Dear Chief Hish:
On the morning of July 10,2014, Prospect Heights Police Officers responded to
the Willow Heights Condominium complex for a report of "an unresponsive
infant". Soon after, MCAT assistance was requested for investigation and
forensic support for a death investigation of a one-month old infant. MCAT
members responded quickly and worked in a professional and effective manner
to resolve the situation .
Subsequently, and due to the Medical Examiner's preliminary determination of
the infant's death as inconclusive pending toxicology results and no signs of
trauma, MCAT was deactivated.
Please accept this letter of thanks for the performance of your officers in their
assistance to our department. The exhibition of professionalism of Officers
Rodney Penrod #217 and Dan Donohue #210 during this incident is a credit to
the Hoffman Estates Police Department.
~~ly,

Thank You to our Hoffman Estates Fire Department
Chief Jorian received a thank you from Chief Michael Hish of the Hoffman Estates
Police Department, for the response of the members of the NIP AS EST team and
their quick and efficient establishment of unified command. An incident occurring
on June 15, 2014 required a plan of action in place to handle a potentially very
serious situation. Thanks to the efforts of the NIPAS team members on the scene,
the incident was resolved in a safe and successful manner.
Chief Jorian was conveyed gratitude for assistance rendered from the members of
the department on Sunday, July 20, 2014, from the Carpentersville Fire
Department, and Alan Popp, Director of Public Safety. The equipment, experience
and expertise provided by all members on the scene were truly exceptional. The
Carpentersville Fire Department is very proud of being affiliated with the MABAS
community and stands ready to reciprocate whenever the need should arise.
Chief J orian received thanks, as well as to all those from the Village that came out
to the Beacon Pointe block party yesterday (July 27, 2014). It's wonderful to have
the elected officials take time away from their personal lives to come out at special
events. As always, the Fire Department was a huge hit with the kids. Thanks again
and we'll see you next year! - Kristy Stone, Beacon Pointe HOA

Fire Chief Jeff Jorian
Hoffman Estates Village Hall
1900 Hassell Road
Hoffman Estates, IL 60169
Dear Chief Jorian:
This is just a little note to tell you I believe the men on duty Sunday evening, July 13, at
the Westbury station are outstanding.
At around 11 :05 p.m., I went for a glass of water and there was no pressure. I could hear
the sound of running water coming from the basement. When I opened the basement
door, my heart sank as I saw about two inches of water on the floor and the sound of
gushing water coming from somewhere down there. Who do I call on a Sunday, late at
night? I first called the Public Works Department - of course no one was there. I then
called 911 and told them I was afraid to go downstairs and not sure how to turn off the
water. They sent me your wonderful crew of men.
I was so profoundly grateful when they showed me the problem and shut the valve.
Thirty-some years ago, my husband disconnected and removed a water softener when the
village changed over to city water. After all that time, the plug gave way and popped
right out of the pipe. The men were very courteous and respectful but what happened
next really made me awe-struck. They each grabbed a broom, some had squeegees, and
began moving the water toward the sump pump well (which for some odd reason is way
on the other side of the basement). I told them they did not have to do this, but they
continued anyway. What would have taken me hours to clean up, they accomplished in
minutes.
Today I tried to show my appreciation to these fme men by bringing them a basket of
Fannie May candies. (I try to give gifts I like.) They seemed happy with my choice. But
my appreciation has to go one step further and that is in sending this letter to your
attention. I don't have the names of these young men, but I will remember them forever
and will always be grateful we have such a fme fire department.
Yours truly,
Ct ', Lt, -:Jc:-~ Me\.( tl no
