✅Let's have a solicitor refresher.

• All solicitors MUST fill out an application at City Hall. Part of this application process will include a background check by the Sandwich Police Department.

• All approved solicitors will be issued a name badge that MUST be worn at all times while soliciting.

• All approved solicitors will be posted on our social media outlets. We include the name of the business, name of each approved individual solicitor, and dates that the solicitors are approved to operate.

• Currently THERE ARE NO APPROVED SOLICITORS. If you see individuals soliciting in your neighborhood please contact our non-emergency number at (815) 786-8735. We will be happy to solicit the solicitors and educate them on our process.

**UPDATE: I'm back home!

This good boy (I mean, seriously, no sarcasm. He’s a VERY good boy) was found going for a morning walk in the area of South County Line Rd and Gletty Rd. We are keeping him at the PD for a short time hoping his owner comes forward. If this is your pupper please contact us at 815-786-8735 and speak with Ofc. French.

Thanks!

“Da Gladiator” made his American Chair Volley Ball Gladiator debut 🔥🐻👇

We stopped by Fox Valley Community Services for another round of Chair Volleyball, and just like always, it got competitive in the best way!

It’s always great dropping in, catching up, and spending time with our friends there. These visits are truly a highlight of our day!
