Glencoe Public Safety has trained and certified Child Safety Seat Technicians who can instruct residents how to properly install child safety seats. They will also inspect an installed safety seat to make sure it is properly installed. This service is provided for Glencoe residents only. Inspections are performed by appointment only during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Please contact Community Service Officer Nigel Serbe at (847) 461-1139  or nserbe@villageofglencoe.org to schedule an appointment.

  • Premise Alert Program – The Illinois Premise Alert Program provides for public safety agencies in the State of Illinois to allow people with disabilities, special needs or both to provide information to police, fire and EMS personnel to be kept in a database (stemming from Public Act 96-0788). The information can then be provided to responders dealing with situations involving the special needs individuals. The information is kept confidential. Families, caregivers or the person with the disability or special needs may provide this information. To file for the program, please complete this application.
