 Investigations
The Investigation Bureau is comprised of three sections: Detectives,
Special Operation Group and Crime Analysis. The Investigations Bureau is
commanded by Lieutenant Cortese.
The Investigation Bureau assists the Patrol Bureau in the follow-up
of cases that is beyond the scope of the uniformed officer. Detectives
do not specialize in any one type of crime. Detectives investigate cases
ranging from murder to theft. To contact a detective, call (630)
372-4400. Detectives handle both adult and youth cases.
The juvenile officers assigned in this Division administer programs
aimed at the redirection of the behavior of the youthful offender. These
include referral to outside social service agencies, station adjustment,
and, when necessary, adjudication in the juvenile court system.
The Hanover Park Police Department offers services and assistance
with both delinquent and non-delinquent youth. Many legal options are
available when dealing with a juvenile who has violated the law, most of
which involve handling a case informally in the department, and do not
involve referral to juvenile court or removing the youth from the
family. If you would like to discuss a specific problem with a Youth
Officer, you may call (630) 372-4400.
The Police Department also employs a full-time Social Worker who
deals with both delinquent and non-delinquent youth. If you would like
to discuss a problem, you should first contact the Youth Officer;
however, if your question or problem involves a juvenile who has not
violated the law, you may contact the Police Social Worker at (630)
372-4417
Special Operations Group
Special Operation Group officers specialize in combating gang and
drug activity in Hanover Park. SOG officers spend their time gathering
gang intelligence and conducting anti-drug operations. They also are
responsible for checking retail compliance with sales of alcohol and
cigarettes. To contact officers assigned to the unit, call (630)
372-4477.
