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

🐾 Keep Your Best Friend Safe! 🐾
We've recently responded to several calls involving dogs running at large. While we know our four-legged family members love to explore, allowing them to roam can put them and others at risk.
Please remember:
🐶 Keep your dog on a leash when outside unless it's in a securely fenced area.
🏷️ Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current ID tags and that its microchip information is up to date.
🚗 Free-roaming dogs can be struck by vehicles, become lost, or become involved in conflicts with people or other animals.
🤝 Following the leash law helps keep our neighborhoods safe and enjoyable for everyone.
If your dog gets loose, having current identification greatly increases the chances of a quick and safe reunion.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our community and our furry friends safe!

Passport Contest: Post #4
This beautiful home at 205 South State St. has a fascinating architectural secret—it was actually built as two separate houses at two different times!
•The North House (1855): The original home was built by George Richards.
•The South House (1867): Brothers Hiram and George Wilson added a second house seamlessly matching the original style, complete with its own separate front and rear entrances.
Beyond its unique architecture, this incredible location holds a profound place in history as a known stop on the Underground Railroad, offering shelter and safety to freedom seekers.
Check out this stunning colorized photo by Trent Briggs bringing its history to life!
How to Enter:
