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

This week we celebrate the first line of contact on your worse day- our Public Safety Telecommunicators.
You have superhuman abilities to stay calm, focused and steady in the moments of chaos. Your quickness to get the correct responders to where they are going safely saves lives every time you answer the phone.
While you might not be seen your impact is felt on every call, on every crisis managed and by every officer, firefighter and EMT you guide.
Thank you for your dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to serving others. We appreciate you today and every day-Nancy, Brittany, Ashley and Bridget 💙
We would also like to wish Henry County Sheriffs Office and Kewanee Police Department Telecommunicators a fantastic week as well and a quick thank you for all you do! ... See MoreSee Less
