unable to witness any illegal activity in the parking lot.
Beat officers issued two local ordinance tickets for trespassing to the drivers of refrigeration trucks
parking on private property in the 2200 block of Palmer Drive. This is an ongoing Beat 8 Project
initiated by the owners of the property. Since the strict enforcement, fewer trucks have been seen
staging in the area.
Beat officers have been enforcing all regulatory and handicapped parking signs at the Schaumburg
Convention Center to ensure compliance. Citations were issued at the Convention Center to taxi cabs
because the drivers did not have a VOS Chauffeur’s license in their possession. Both enforcement
actions are ongoing beat projects.
A CSR was initiated by the Code Enforcement Department for commercial trucks parking overnight in
the vacant lot at Meacham Road and Thoreau Drive. Sgt. Thommes assigned it to the beat officers who

The Beat 9 Team met for the monthly meeting on June 7. Six Beat 9 Members were in attendance. The
team discussed the following:
A CSR was received for valet violations at Rosebud Restaurant. The beat team was made aware of the
problem of blocking off spots not approved on the valet site plan. Officer Antes made personal contact
with the valet business and corrected the problem.
A CSR was completed for speeding autos along McConnor Parkway during resurface construction.
Brad Hurban (Engineering) and Public Works contacted the beat coordinator. In conjunction with the
Traffic Bureau, the problem was resolved through high visibility enforcement and a realignment of the
traffic patterns.
The beat coordinator had contact with management of Lifetime Fitness about a problem with parking
motorcycles on the sidewalk. The establishment believed their customers were allowed to do this
because of a prior agreement with the Village. This in fact, was not the case, and the problem has been
rectified.
A training session was conducted to establish a protocol for handling handicapped placard violators. As
a 2007 Beat Goal, Beat 9 Officers will increase enforcement in handicapped parking zones. Initial
assignments were given, and after one month, the beat team will discuss any improvement for the
program.
Beat 10 – Sgt. Pat Donovan
The Beat 10 Team met for its monthly meeting on June 14. There were two guests present from Twelve
Oaks Development. Twelve Oaks management wanted to make the beat officers aware of their concerns
and advise they now have private security monitoring the grounds. Beat officers are conducting a
Special Watch on Coventry Road for specific subjects who are prohibited from entering a residence on
that block. Officers have been advised to arrest these subjects for criminal trespass if they are found on
the premises.
Officer Johns issued a local ordinance ticket for consumption of alcohol at the Pik-N-Go located in
Salem Plaza. The subject caused a disturbance at the Pik-N-Go and was intoxicated. Officers also
wrote local ordinance tickets for criminal trespass to subjects who were found loitering on the roof of
Helen Keller Junior High School.
Officers continue to do Walk and Talks through Salem Plaza. They are also citing vehicles that cut
through the plaza to avoid the traffic control signal at Salem Drive and Golf Road.
