The Illinois Council of Police has improved the service to members who rely on our 24-hour emergency line. This line is vital to ICOPs members involved in a critical incident and in need of immediate union assistance.
Today is a new day for the Village of Robbins police officers as the Illinois Council of police signs off on a new agreement drastically increasing wages and conditions of employment for police officers, sergeants and commanders.

Congratulations to all who took part.
