Alsip Police Department


Village of Alsip Police Department

Records Department

Records Unit

The Records Unit plays a vital role within the Department by documenting all incidents that are reported within the Village, as well as recording and storing information on the performance of the employees of the Department. Through the use of information housed in the Records Unit, decisions can be made regarding resource allocations as well as future budget and manpower needs.
The Records Unit can be considered the brain of the organization using information stored there from past occurrences to plan for present and future needs, which can affect Village budget guidelines. The Records function can only be as effective and efficient as the system in place to store and retrieve information recorded in it. If the information can not be readily accessed when needed, the Department can not run smoothly and efficiently. The Records Unit utilizes the most up-to-date technology available to store and retrieve information, which can be accessed throughout the day. The technology needs of the Department are continually assessed to ensure they meet the current and future needs of the Department.

The Records Unit is also charged with the responsibility of tracking all tickets and other related court documents through the Judicial System. The Unit processes over 200,000 documents yearly.
