Law Enforcement

I hate to admit it, but I've been pulled over a few times in my life by law enforcement. Somehow I've been lucky enough that I've only got one ticket. (I think the real trick is to be polite). One thing I've noticed before is that each time the officer comes up to the car and touches the top of the trunk or the tail light...

When it comes to engaging with law enforcement in the state of Illinois, do you know all of your rights? If they knock on your door, what can you do?

No one wants to hear a member of law enforcement or a judge say to them "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," because that generally means that you're in deep trouble.

The Rockford Police Department currently has over 300 officers, and they are looking for some men and women that want to join the team.

If you've ever thought about joining the Illinois State Police, the time is now.

Despite near-constant warnings and advisories about not leaving dogs and cats to suffer in extreme heat or cold, it still happens with alarming frequency.

It's not easy being a law-enforcement officer, but some states offer better conditions than others.

It's been so wonderful to see so many in our community stepping up to honor Officer Jaimie Cox. A local group wants to keep a continual memorial to him and other fallen police officers by renaming a Rockford bridge.
