The Police Department provides free bicycle registration to village residents that can assist in quickly locating the owner when they are found abandoned and to provide identifying information for police should a theft occur.
Registration is free and residents are encouraged to stop by the police service desk where, after completing a short registration form, you will receive an identifying license to affix to your bicycle. You will need to know the make, model and serial number of your bicycle in order to complete the registration form.

The Kenilworth Police Department is dedicated to protecting the child passengers on our roads, and provides a free Child Safety Seat Inspection/Installation Program that is available to residents. Improperly installed child safety seats do not fully protect children from injuries and/or deaths in the event of a traffic crash or in sudden emergency maneuvers.
Several Kenilworth Police employees are certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as Child Seat Technicians. Residents are invited to call the Police Department at 847-251-2141 to schedule a child safety seat inspection/installation.

This program is used as an alternative to sending first-time youthful offenders through the criminal court system. Youthful offenders are judged and sentenced by a jury comprised of their adolescent peers and often receive sentences that require restitution and/or community service.
The Peer Jury Program is administered through the New Trier Township office and has proven to be very effective.

The Lost Child Alert Technology Resource Program (LOCATER) is a national system that provides a link between all participating police departments across the country. Kenilworth obtained this system through grant funding and was one of the 1st departments in our area to receive this technology.
This system is similar to, and used in conjunction with, the Amber Alert. The system is also capable of producing "wanted" or information posters that can be broadcast to other LOCATER departments.
