The department’s recruiting video was voted the “Best Recruiting Video” in the State of Illinois by the Women of Color Leadership Summit.
“Elgin’s video includes women officers, especially women of color, a lot more than other recruiting videos and shows both men and women as regular folks; people from the neighborhood, engaged in service-focused activities, and just as important, with preparedness for enforcement actions, when needed. The clincher, making this the winning recruiting video, was the perfect placement of voiceover that says, Now more than ever, we need people like you. “
– Chief Marisol V. Gamboa
Community policing has been at the heart of the department’s core policing philosophy. This philosophy continues to help connect us with our community, hear perspectives, and embrace differences. We remain committed to this philosophy and will continue to create a welcoming, diverse, and professional department to provide our community with the best service.
