July 6 Update:

The City of Des Plaines is embarking on a multi-million-dollar renovation to the Des Plaines Police Department facilities. Modernizing this space will make sure that our dedicated officers can protect our community effectively and efficiently.

Key elements of the project include:

Phase I: The construction of an addition between the City Hall and Police Station to form a common entry, lobby, and reception area for both buildings. This will be a one-story enclosure of the existing covered walkway connecting the two buildings. The first floor will also include police department reception, common toilet rooms, and report writing rooms.

Phase II: The construction of a two-story approximately 20,000 sf addition to the existing Police Station.

Phase III: Selective areas of interior renovation of the existing Police Station building after completion and addition.

Please note that during the construction, access to facilities may be limited or altered to accommodate work. Follow posted signage for access.

The payment drop-box may be unavailable for a time. Please plan to bring payments to the front counter or pay by mail or online.
