NLPD | Patrol Division

The Patrol Division is under the management of Deputy Chief April Di Sandro .   It is considered the backbone of the New Lenox Police Department.  The Patrol Division is the most visible section of the police department, providing around the clock service to the citizens and visitors of the Village of New Lenox.  They are the uniformed officers who provide the first line of service for the public's safety.  Each patrol officer works to protect life and property, uphold the civil rights of individuals, preserve public peace, provide citizen assistance, enforce criminal and motor vehicle laws, and responds to emergency situations. If you would like to recognize exceptional service please complete the Employee Commendation Form.

The New Lenox Police Department believes a well-trained officer will better serve his community, so our officers receive an extensive amount of training every year.  Officers receive at least eight hours of in-service training each month.  Annually, officers receive regular training and certification in areas such as, firearms, arrest control techniques, self-defense techniques, crowd control, pursuit and emergency driving, less than lethal weaponry, and physical fitness.


 If you are considering a career in law enforcement with the New Lenox Police Department we suggest you complete the New Patrol Officer Notification Form and return to the New Lenox Police and Fire Commission to be notified of upcoming testing dates.  

Police Department Divisions include: Administration, Records, Patrol, Community Policing, and Criminal Investigations.
