As per Illinois State mandate beginning June 19, 2018, the Geneseo Police Department will no longer be a Public Safety Answering Point. We will no longer be able to dispatch the ambulance for the public. You will have to dial 911 if you have an emergency or need any ambulance services, please DO NOT call our non-emergent phone number. 911 calls will be answered by either the Henry County Sherriff’s Office or Kewanee Police Department. Please assist us with this transition
As we get into warmer weather read up on the Illinois State Law and Geneseo Municipal Ordinance for E-Bikes aka Low-Speed Electric Bicycles and aka Motorized Pedal Cycles. Reminder, any motorized conveyance is NOT allowed on the Hennepin Canal Trails.

It’s Municipal Clerks Week, and we want to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to our very own Paige Seibel, City Clerk for Geneseo!
While much of what a City Clerk does happens behind the scenes, our community simply couldn’t run without Paige’s dedication. From managing public and employee records, licensing, and coordinating elections to ensure transparency and keep our municipal wheels turning, she handles it all with grace and professionalism.
A special nod to Jessica Damewood as well. While Jessica serves the community through the GPD, she also steps up to back Paige up as our Deputy City Clerk whenever she’s needed. This spirit of teamwork is what makes our local government effective, ensuring that vital city services, public records, and community support never skip a beat.
To Paige, Jessica, and all the clerks serving their communities—thank you for all that you do! ... See MoreSee Less
