On August 28, 2009, the Illinois Premise Alert Program Act (PAP) became law in Illinois. The PAP is a safety program that supports individuals living with disabilities as well as police and paramedics responding to calls at a specific address. This program requires 911 call centers to maintain a database of information about individuals with special needs when requested by families, caregivers, or individuals with disabilities or special needs. The PAP assists the Kenilworth Police Department in identifying individuals who have special needs, which will enable responding police officers and paramedics to have additional information at their disposal in the event of an emergency.

The Kenilworth Police Department has information about the PAP available for interested residents. PAP registration forms (PDF) are available at the police desk or online. Residents may contact the Police Department at 847-251-2141 for additional information on this program.

The Kenilworth Police Department is cognizant of its obligation to the community’s senior citizens. We endorse and participate in a program which affords seniors a means to ensure their well-being and address their special needs. In this program the senior citizen contacts the Police Department by telephone on a daily basis. If a senior citizen fails to contact the police department an officer will check on the well-being of the citizen.
