Upcoming and Current events...

Dog Licensing and Bike Registration events - held through August 13, 2022
Any pooch calling Warrenville their home needs to be licensed!   Check to see if we're holding a licensing event in your neighborhood by clicking on the pup's picture below. Events will run through August 13th...but, if you can't make it to one of these, stop by City Hall or the Police Department during regular business hours to purchase your dog's 2022 license there.  

Bike registrations will be held at the same time.  Help police return your bike to you should it be lost or stolen and found.  Bike registrations are free, and we ask that you bring your bike with you for a sticker to be applied. 

Questions about either of these events may be directed to Animal Control Officer Perry at police non-emergency (630-393-2131).

Police Neighborhood Roll Calls - Held during June and July 
You're invited to join Warrenville police officers for a neighborhood roll call session! Sessions will take place in different locations throughout the City, providing you an opportunity to interact more closely with them.  Hear important local law enforcement updates, current and upcoming patrol initiatives, and address your individualized neighborhood concerns.

A Look Back at 2021

Shop with a Cop - December 2021

Participants gathered at the Glen Ellyn Park District for breakfast, sports and photo-ops, and  a meet-and-greet with Santa, all followed by a police caravan ride to the Meijer food store in Bloomingdale for some Christmas shopping. Children were able to choose to shop for themselves or for family members.
