Police Department Receives
CALEA Accreditation
At its July
conference in
Boston, the
Commission on
Accreditation for
Law
Enforcement
Agencies
(CALEA)
presented Police
Chief John
Sliozis with
formal
recognition of accreditation of the Deerfield
Police Department. Fewer than 60 police
departments throughout the State of Illinois
have attained this distinction. Formal
accreditation culminates a long process that
began several years ago and included a
thorough examination of departmental
policies and procedures. Deputy Police
Chief Tom Keane served as the
administrator of this departmental review
and coordinated the Department's
accreditation bid.
CALEA was formed in 1979 to establish a
body of standards designed to:
• Increase law enforcement agency
capabilities to prevent and control
crime.
• Increase agency effectiveness and
efficiency in the delivery of law
enforcement services.
• Increase cooperation and coordination
with other law enforcement agencies
+and with other agencies of the criminal
justice system.
• Increase citizen and employee
confidence in the goals, objectives,
policies and practices of the agency.
Another of the Commission's primary
responsibilities was to develop an
accreditation process that provides law
enforcement agencies an opportunity to
voluntarily demonstrate that.they meet an
established set of professional standards.
Village Hall Expansion
At the June 20, 2005 Village Board
meeting, the Village Board awarded a
contract to Williams Development for
design -build services for the expansion and
renovation of the Village Hall. Williams
Development is teamed with Williams
Architects for this project and has a long
history of designing and constructing
significant municipal projects. Their work
can be seen in a number of other
communities including Lisle, Barrington
and Wheaton.
Dedicated in 1957, the Village Hall houses
the departments of Administration and
Finance as well as two public meeting
rooms that service the Board of Trustees
and other boards and commissions. Since
1972, the Community Development
Department has been quartered in the
Village Hall Annex, a space it shared with
West Deerfield Township until their
relocation earlier this year.
Expansion of the Village Hall has been
discussed for a number of years. As part of
the updated comprehensive plan approved
last year, expansion of the Village Hall on
its present site was one of the
recommendations for the northwest
quadrant of the Village Center. It has also
become evident that, as the need for Village
services continues to increase, more usable
space is necessary to provide resources to
those who work and do business in the
Village Hall and Annex. The Annex building
will be razed as part of this project, and a
new two-story wing with a basement will be
added to the north of the existing Village
Hall.

Leaf Pickup
The Village's annual leaf pickup
program provides residents with an
alternate way to dispose of their leaves.
Residents who do not mulch or bag their
leaves may simply rake leaves to the curb
or carriage walk line the night before
their scheduled pickup. Beginning the
week of October 24 and continuing
through November 17, Public Works
crews will make one pass by each house
in the Village each week during the
program. Please do not put out leaves
more than one day prior to your
scheduled pickup day.
Vacuum hose machines are used to pick
up leaves. Leaves should be raked neatly,
as close to the curb as possible, so long
as they are not placed in the street or on
carriage walks or sidewalks. Doing this
causes safety hazards to pedestrians and
drivers. Here are some reminders for leaf
pickup:
Do not park on the street the day of
your pickup. Crews cannot remove
leaves on a parkway that is blocked
by a vehicle parked on the street.
Do not rake grass clippings, sticks,
rocks, branches or mud to the curb
with your leaves. These materials
clog and damage the equipment used
for collecting leaves. If these items
are found, the leaves will not be
removed.
Y Try to put leaves out each week, if
possible, so that crews are not
overloaded at the end of the
program.
If a crew starts to pick up in an area
before they are scheduled to do so,
they will also return on the scheduled
day.
Inclement weather may delay
pickups, but crews will make at least
four trips through your
neighborhood.
Following the final pickup in your
neighborhood, remaining leaves must be
bagged and a yard waste sticker adhered
for regular refuse collections on
Mondays and Tuesdays. December 12
and 13 will be the last yard waste
pickups this year. a�

spearheaded by local government
agencies to help promote services
offered by the many local agencies and
organizations that serve the residents
of Deerfield and Bannockburn. This
new event will be a unique opportunity
for residents to see demonstrations
and participate in activities that these
local agencies offer. Throughout the
day there will be numerous
demonstrations, exhibits and activities.
•

CarrAmerica, the Deerfield Park
Foundation and Deerfield Rotary, this
event is free to the entire community!

The Village Hall expansion project will
go before the Plan Commission,
.Appearance Review Commission and
Village Center Development
Commission this fall. As proposed, the
newly expanded Village Hall will total
26,000 square feet, a figure
approximately 45% larger than the
current space shared between the
Village Hall and Annex buildings. This
new expansion should provide space
sufficient for present and future needs
of the Village government.
The expansion will provide for
significantly upgraded meeting space
for the Village's many boards and
commissions, as well as a larger and
more technology -friendly Village Board
room. Additional public space will be
one of the highlights of the building,
with an attractive main lobby area and
a lobby near the new Village Board
room.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for late
Qpring or early summer 2006. Look for

Accreditation Cont'd
Continued from Page I
In late January three CALEA assessors
conducted an on -site inspection of the
Deerfield police facility. The assessors
reviewed written materials, interviewed
officers and other department staff and
observed day -today departmental
operations in an effort to assess
compliance with established policies
and procedures. The Deerfield Police
Department was in compliance with all
418 standards that were applied to it.
The assessors completed their review
and submitted a report to the CALEA
Commission recommending that the
accreditation be awarded.
The Village was informed shortly
thereafter that accreditation was to be
awarded. Chief Sliozis commented that
"Generally, CALEA accreditation serves
to highlight a department's dedication
to providing superior police service to
the community. That Deerfield's Police
Department has achieved accreditation
serves to reaffirm its commitment to
the residents and businesses of the
Village of Deerfield." b.

Construction Update .
The Village of Deerfield
is continuing what has
been a very busy
construction season.
The following is a brief update of
current projects. Frequently updated
and detailed project updates are,
available on the Village's website at
w w.deerfreld-il.o►g. Thank you for
your continued patience.
Dcerfield Road
The project is on schedule to be
completed in November. Replacement
of watermain and storm sewer, new
sanitary sewer and a widened roadway
are aspects of this project, as well as a
number of pedestrian -friendly
improvements to this corridor.
Ustbound only traffic will continue
through the project area with periodic
road closures until the project is
completed. The Village appreciates the
continued cooperation of motorists and
• residents as this very important
community project is completed.
A.rrib les ide/D i:ti-Lnicydale
While much project work was
completed in July and early August, the
contractor is scheduled to return in
September to make individual service
connections to the new water main and
complete site restoration throughout the
project area.
Stratford Road
Construction is continuing on Stratford
Road. Work on utilities, including
storm sewer and water main, is
progressing but is expected to cause
some inconvenience to residents when
services are reconnected to new
infrastructure. Notice will be given
before any disruption in service. Street
reconstruction will continue through
the next two months.
Strcet .Rehab Prograrii.
• This program is underway and will
continue through the fall. Residents on
affected streets will be notified in
advance of work taking place. ;b.
Wastewater Treatment
Plant
Since 1956, the Village of Deerfield
has operated its own wastewater
treatment plant. The last major
renovation of this facility took place in
1975. In 2004, the Board of Trustees
commissioned a report on the existing
conditions of the plant to better
understand potential upgrades that
might be necessary. Stanley
Consultants provided the Village with a
report earlier this year which indicated
that upgrades are necessary, and that
significant capital investments totalling
$15 - $30 million would be necessary
to bring the plant up to modern
standards of operation. Several options
were proposed, including potentially
connecting Deerfield's system to a
regional system, constructing a new
plant, or simply modifying the existing
facility.
The Village was approached by
American Water, a private firm offering
water and sanitary service to
communities nationwide, with the
prospect of assuming control of the
plant and the wastewater collection
system. Although "privatization" of the
plant would bring about a number of
changes, the Board felt it warranted
further research and exploration. In
July, the Board of Trustees signed a
letter of agreement with American
Water to allow that firm and the
Village 180 days time for appropriate
due diligence on this potential change.
It is important to understand that no
decision has been made as to the
future of the wastewater treatment
plant at this time, but that the Board
of Trustees and Village staff are
continuing to explore options to ease
the burden on the taxpayer while
maintaining superior standards of
service. All further debate on the issue
will be open to public participation.
Whatever decision is made will have
long-term implications for the Village,
so the process has been and will
remain very slow and deliberate. ;b.
publicWORKS
Property Maintenance
Well -maintained properties serve to
beautify the Village as a whole.
Remember these helpful tips:
• Plant material such as tree limbs
and bushes are not permitted to
overhang public streets, sidewalks or
carriage walks in a way that impedes
pedestrian or vehicular traffic flow.
Remember to trim trees and bushes
regularly so that this is not a
problem.
• Leaves, when raked to the curb line
for collection by Village crews, may
not be placed in the street or on
sidewalks or carriage walks.
Signs, such as "house for sale,"
"garage sale" or signs of an
advertising or political nature, may
not be placed in the public right-of-
way.
Also, the following tips can help get
your home ready for winter.
• Have your furnace, humidifier and
chimney serviced by a qualified
professional.
• Apply weather stripping to doors
and windows to prevent cold air and
drafts from entering your house.
Clear all gutters and downspouts of
leaves and debris. Leaves in your
gutter will freeze during the winter,
preventing melting ice from properly
draining. Trim away any limbs or
shrubs that touch the house.
Replace deteriorated caulk on
outside windows. Repair blistering
and peeling exterior paint to prevent
water seepage into your home.
• Repair driveway and walkway cracks
before they expand into more
extensive problems.
Clean out your garage to make room
for your car during the winter
months. -*-

Tornado Sirens
The Deerfield Police Department is
responsible for the activation of
tornado sirens used to alert the public
of severe weather that may include
tornadoes.
There are three sirens located in
Deerfield: Southwest - South Park
School, 1421 Hackberry; Southeast -
Kates
Road/Corporate
Drive; North -
Tony's Subs,
1480 Waukegan
Road. The sirens
are tested on the
first Tuesday of
each month at 10:00 a.m.
The sirens may be activated if the
National Weather Service issues a
tornado warning for Lake County, if
there is a sighting of a funnel cloud in
Deerfield or a neighboring community
by a trained weather spotter; or upon
orders by appropriate public safety
personnel.
Upon activation of the sirens you
should seek proper shelter. The
National Weather Service recommends
the following:
In a home or a building, move to
the basement. If there is no .
basement, move to an interior
room without windows such as a
bathroom or interior closet.
Y Avoid places with wide -span roofs
such as auditoriums, cafeterias,
large hallways or shopping malls.
If in your car, get out of your
vehicle and seek shelter in a
nearby building. If there is no
building available, lie flat in a
ditch or low-lying area. Do not
seek shelter under a bridge.
There is no all clear siren, so please
rely on your radio or television for
updates on a weather situation. b.
Road Rage
Traffic safety is often described in terms
of seatbelts, traffic laws, red lights and
good driving skills. Road Rage is
commonly misjudged as simply
impatient behavior of a driver but in
reality, it can lead to serious threats to
safety. Drivers can become irritated
during heavy traffic or feel that another
driver has "cut them off." This type of
impatience often turns into either verbal
aggression (yelling, swearing) or even
physical aggression (slamming on
brakes, running cars off the road, or
getting out of the vehicle and engaging
in a physical altercation with another
driver.)
The term "road rage" is the informal
name for deliberately dangerous
behavior and/or violent behavior under
the influence of heightened, violent
emotion such as anger and frustration,
involving an automobile in use. This
can involve deliberately hitting another
person, vehicle or object with his/her
own vehicle and/or firing a weapon
from it. Other possibilities include
hitting the person or vehicle with an
item from his/her own vehicle. Getting
out of one's own vehicle and
approaching another person's vehicle
while banging or knocking on the
windows and yelling insults are other
forms of road rage.
Useful Tips:
• Don't retaliate. Never take the
other driver personally, he/she is
only reacting on a road rage
instinct.
• Don't make eye contact with an
angry driver.
• Before you react to anything that
is done to you, ask yourself, "Is
getting back at the driver worth
my life?"
• Be polite and courteous, even
when others are not.
• If another driver harasses you
and you are being followed, do
not go home. Call 911 and go to
the nearest police station.
Slow down and relax!
Never underestimate other
drivers' capacity for mayhem.
Reduce your driving stress by
allowing enough time to get
where you are going. Know the
roads that are under
construction and listen to
weather reports that may cause
traffic delays.
Remember that you cannot
control the drivers around you,
but you can control the way
they affect your well-being.
When merging or turning,
make sure your turn signal is
on well before your maneuver.
Cutting in front of other
drivers quickly, or trying to
speed ahead of their car, could
cause a problem.
Never stop your vehicle.to
confront another driver. This is
very risky and, more often
than not, will turn into a
physical confrontation. b-
Trick=or-Treat!
Monday, October 31
3:30 p.m. to 7.00 p.m.
Costume Safety Tips:
• Children should be dressed in
light colored costumes or have
reflective strips sewn on the front
and back of their costumes.
• Make sure costumes do not limit
mobility or obstruct vision. Use
theatrical face paints for
decorating faces instead of masks.
• All children should carry a lighted
•
C.
flashlight for added visibility. •
Have a safe and fun
Halloween!

United Way Campaign
North Suburban United Way will be
kicking off its 2005 annual campaign
in September. United Way identifies the
critical health and human service
issues in this region; works with
community leaders and experts to
prioritize needs; and then funds and
coordinates hundreds of human care
efforts to address those needs. Most
importantly, United Way achieves
measurable results. By identifying
where the greatest progress is being
made, United Way is able to work with
the key players to replicate success,
spreading workable solutions to
improve people's lives and make this
community a better place to live and
work.
This year North Suburban United Way
committed over $450,000 to support
health and human services provided by
31 locally affiliated agencies that serve
individuals and families who live and
work in our community. For
information on the United Way's
campaign, call 847/509-8743.
