Rockford Police

Rockford police don't want you to listen to their communications anymore, but some local citizens are doing something to try to stop silence of the airwaves by Rockford's new Police Chief.

Listening to police communications on a police scanner will soon be a bit more difficult for those who like to listen to Rockord Police Communications.

As we heat up during the Great 98.5 Days of Summer, there is another season that likes to be remembered. You know, that one involving lots of snow and cold temperatures.

You might want to stock up on doughnuts this summer, it's your chance to party with a Rockford cop and it's all for a great cause.

Police announced today they have arrested and charged a 15-year-old Rockford girl as part of the investigation of the death of Andreayah McBain, who's burned body was found in rural Stephenson County in October 2015.

The Rockford Board of Fire and Police Commissioners is currently looking for a search firm to help find qualified candidates for the Rockford Police Chief position, but in the meantime they want to hear what the community is looking for in their next police chief.
