Citizen Comments: None
Minutes for Correction/Approval: January 2, 2025
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2025-05 Monthly Report Review for January 2025
Chief Jensen presented this report. He said the department is fully staffed at this time. He
reported the overtime hours, the community police initiatives--particularly in the downtown area
and Sgt. Stroup was installed as Sergeant-in Arms in the Kendall Chiefs Association. The Chief
also reported the training hours, number of crashes, the mobile speed sign was placed in the
downtown area for a 2-week study and the directed patrol efforts. In addition, he said the number
of citations were up, warnings were down and many background checks were done. A second
School Resource Officer may be requested, so the school activities are being tracked. At the
present time, the only Resource Officer travels to all the schools. The Chief discussed the Nybers
reports and also said there were fewer motorist assists and lockouts. Alderman Soling asked if a
liability waiver is signed for lockouts. A waiver is signed and Chief Jensen noted that many
departments no longer do lockouts, however, he feels it is a public service.
2. PS 2025-06 Adjudication Reports for January and February 2025
In January, there were solicitors who had no permits and they are warned first, then citations are
issued. A few cases for vape pens and cannabis were also noted. The Chief had questions on the
parking violations and “no registration” citations and will clarify.

3. PS 2025-07 2024 Annual Report Review
Chief Jensen said the 2024 goal was to challenge the staff to make a certain number of daily
stops. That goal was divided into 9 smaller goals for expectations and standards. The department
also challenged officers to identify and solve problems. He noted a 155% increase in traffic stops
for cell phone use/distracted driving and he detailed the overall number of calls for service for the
year. The Chief said the CSO program has proved to be valuable and he likes to hire the CSO's
as full-time officers. The Chief reported the number of FOIA requests and also the crimes
handled by the School Resource Officer. DUI's and crashes were up, but the overall crime rate
was down. He noted that in 2024, the department was using the Nybers reporting system
exclusively.
The Chief also discussed that de-escalation and transparency are very important strategies The
Police Department also partners with the health department on mental health incidents and they
provide a social worker 1 day a week who follows up with persons in need of their services.
Chief Jensen said in the future he may ask for funding for increased hours of a social worker.
The department has two drones which are used every shift. There are 6 trained drone pilots and
they also assist other agencies with this program.
The department also has a therapy dog for use at special events and other needs.
4. PS 2025-08 U.S. Department of Justice COPS Grant - Discussion
Chief Jensen said he did not request extra staffing in this budget year, however, in the 5-year
plan, additional staff will be needed. The Mayor has given permission to start writing a grant
through the U.S. Department of Justice, for two additional employees. If the grant is received, it
would provide $250,000 total for 2 persons. The Chief said he is challenging two other staff
members to learn the grant writing process. Alderman Soling noted that Waubonsee College
offers grant-writing classes.
5. PS 2025-09 Regulation of Time-Restricted Parking - Grande Trail by Grande
Reserve Elementary
Phone calls were received from parents regarding parking problems during drop-off and pick-up
times at the school. A drone was sent up and identified some of the major issues. In particular,
the issue is students walking between cars and in front of vehicles. Chief Jensen showed the
committee photos of the problem areas. Nearer to the school, cars are parked on both sides of
the street. The school proposes to allow parking only on one side of the street, however, residents
who live there object. His recommendation is no parking on the opposite side of the street from
the school, from Freedom Place all the way around to Matlock Dr. when school is in session, for
1.5 hours both in the morning and afternoon. Chairman Transier suggested putting the restriction
on Grande Trail from Matlock around the curve. The Chief also suggested a crossing guard at
Constitution and Grande Trail.
Chief Jensen asked to bring this matter to the entire City Council. If they approve of the
proposal, letters would be sent to nearby residents, seeking their input. The school has asked
police to be there each day and Officers have asked parents to move, but the parents sometimes
refuse.

Old Business:
1. PS 2025-01 Route 47 Downtown Traffic Activity Update - Discussion
Sgt. Stroup had provided an update of the downtown traffic efforts which showed the numbers for
monthly details, stops, citations and warnings. This update will also be presented to the police
staff and enforcement efforts will continue. They will also evaluate if violators have gotten
multiple warnings, etc. The Chief also feels that people in the downtown see and hear the trucks.
He said that Officer Kyle Davis has expressed a desire to do a truck enforcement program. Chief
Jensen said certified scales would be needed, preferably on both ends of town. He suggested that
when tickets are written, the fines be placed into a truck enforcement fund to buy equipment for
these efforts. He will look into the legalities of a separate fund. He said there will be much
future construction and several data centers with the possibility of speeding and overweight
trucks. Complaints have also been received about trucks on Corneils Rd.
Additional Business: None
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:56pm.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Dan Transier
Citizen Comments: None
Old Business:
1. PS 2025-09 Regulations of Time-Restricted Parking –
Grande Trail by Grande Reserve Elementary
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss proposed parking restrictions on the streets by Grande
Reserve School in an effort to make it safer for children at arrival and pick-up times.
Isaac Mendoza of 3029 McLellan said his family frequently uses the street for parking since there
are multiple drivers in the household. When they have their vehicles parked there, he said it does
not block the flow of traffic as he has observed from his Ring camera system. He asked how it
would help the situation to revoke parking during the specified hours. Chairman Transier said the
restriction would only be a few hours during the day and parking is still allowed on the opposite
side of the street from the school. The suggested restricted hours are 7:30am to 9:00am and
2:30pm to 4:00 pm on school attendance days. Chief Jensen said parents now park on both sides
of the street and kids run across the street to their waiting ride which creates a dangerous
situation. Mr. Mendoza noted that parents block his driveway. Chief Jensen clarified that the
parking restriction would only be on Grande Trail from Matlock to McLellan.
Ms. Michele Breyne, the Principal of Grande Reserve Elementary, said she sends messages to
parents about the parking and asks them to not block driveways. As the population grew in that
area, she began to hear complaints from the residents. Mr. Eduardo Mendiola said the bus stop
across from him is perfect because there is no nearby driveway. He said the safety of the children
is the most important. Mr. Von Mendiola added that he also has a big family with many cars.
Chief of Police Jim Jensen will speak with City Administrator to see if any comments were
received at city hall and this proposal will be forwarded to the City Council. If approved, an
Page 2 of 2
ordinance will be drafted, signs posted and enforcement will begin. Violators will be asked to
move their cars first and the next step after a warning, is a ticket if there is non-compliance. He
said most comments come from the residents through the HOA in the area and they want the
restrictions due to the danger for the kids.
Chairman Transier asked Principal Breyne to inform the parents. She said she serves as a crossing
guard in the mornings and takes the kids across Constitution to Grande Trail. She tries to
encourage the proper places to cross. Chief Jensen asked Ms. Breyne to work with his command
staff on a map that indicates where there is no parking and also the suggested crossing routes.
The police will post the map on social media.
Mr. Eduardo Mendiola asked if there is a group of volunteer parents to help with the crossing.
There currently is not and the schools just took over the crossing duties. He said the most
dangerous entrance to Grande Reserve is the busy one next to the school.
Mr. Mendoza said there is a stop sign by his residence and he suggested a possible 3-way stop
due to the number of cars. Chief Jensen asked him to send an email to the Chief so he can
forward it to other city staff for consideration.
This matter will be forwarded to City Council.
Additional Business: None
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:17pm.

Facebook Post (2/6/25): Yesterday's Battle of the Badges blood drive was a success. Giving blood
is such a simple and powerful way to help others. THANK YOU to everyone who supported our
cause. Each of you who donated helped save 3 lives!! A special thank you to Officer Soebbing for
coordinating the event and thank you to the Kendall County Sheriff's Office for your partnership.
Facebook Post (2/10/25): We kicked off the weekend with a good cause! Officer Goldsmith and
Officer Reyes participated in the Hoops for Hope three-point contest to raise money for pediatric
cancer research. We are very proud of Ryan and Leo. If any of our Y.H.S. basketball crew see
Officer Goldsmith around the school, looks like he could use some pointers for next year!!!
Facebook Post (2/10/25): Good morning and a Happy Monday to everyone! Just a friendly
reminder during your commute, please be aware of your surroundings, so the school buses may get
the children to school safely.
Facebook Post (2/13/25): We take great pride in our history at YPD. Serving our community is
an honor—just as it was for those who came before us. Looking back at YPD over the years always
brings a smile—bigger squads, bulkier equipment, and wow… we sure looked young!
We thought it would be fun to share some of those memories and laughs with you. Here’s a sneak
peek—stay tuned for our weekly #ThrowbackThursday!
Facebook Post (2/19/25): Good morning everyone, unfortunately it’s going to be another cold
day. Keep in mind that it’s Wednesday, another day closer to the weekend, with Sunday being in
the high 30s! Please have a wonderful day!
Facebook Post (2/20/25): We have to start our first official Throwback Thursday in black-and-
white. It is an honor to serve Yorkville following a long line of others who answered the call and
paved the way. We have to admit, plenty of style back then.......good or bad? We will let you be the
judge!
Facebook Post (2/20/25): Our friends at North Aurora P.D. have shared some excellent
information about how to avoid an IRS scam that is going around. We have had several citizens
notify us of this scam as well. Here are some good tips to avoid becoming a victim.
Facebook Post (2/21/25): This week, we were honored to welcome the Patel family, owners of
Fox Hill Pantry here in Yorkville. They generously donated to YPD in support of our community
programs throughout the year. The Patels specifically asked for Commander McMahon, noting that
he has always made a point to stop by their business to check in on them.
A heartfelt thank you to Fox Hill Pantry and the Patel family for their generosity! And a big shoutout
to Commander McMahon for being our friendly neighborhood spider-man!
Facebook Post (2/22/25): Uncle Lar's Pizza Agreed! We MUST uphold the law. Thank you so
much!
Facebook Post (2/27/25): Throwback Thursday is in full color this week!
Sergeant Sam Stroup has been a dedicated member of our team since 2000, beginning his law
enforcement journey as a Waubonsee Community College cadet in 1996. His unwavering
commitment to our community and the YPD has made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly
grateful for his service.
Sam, we appreciate you allowing us to share these memories over the years—we’d say you’ve aged
gracefully!
Thank you for your dedication, Sergeant Stroup!
Facebook Post (2/28/25): Happy Friday Yorkville! We hope everyone enjoys the beautiful day.
Have a safe weekend!

Facebook Post (2/5/25): Freezing Rain & Ice Alert
Here is the latest weather expectations from the NWS. Be extra cautions, we are expecting icy road
conditions for the evening commute and overnight. Slow down, increase following distance, and
give yourselves some extra time to get where you need to be.
Facebook Post (2/7/25): Great news! More wintery mix is possibly headed our way Saturday
morning. Thankfully it is not white fluffy snow (the kind you can sled in or build a
snowman).........(insert sarcasm here ).....but the BE CAREFUL WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING
kind. We hope everyone has a safe and fun filled Super Bowl weekend.
Facebook Post (2/11/25): We are kind of regretting our joke last week about not having
snow.....Looks like we will be getting what we wished for! NWS is projecting 4"-8" of snow area
wide starting Wednesday morning.
YPD is reminding everyone there is NO PARKING ON CITY STREETS after 2" of snowfall.
Please help our plow trucks keep the roads clear by moving vehicles off the roadway once the snow
starts falling. We would sincerely appreciate your cooperation for our first big snow event of the
year. Safe travels. Enjoy the snow. Have a great day!
ttttt
Facebook Post (2/11/25): Good morning everyone and a Happy Tuesday. Looks like we were
found again! Appreciate the morning commute watching their speed through the downtown and
doing their part with making the roadways safer for motorists and pedestrians.
Facebook Post (2/18/25): ***P.S.A.***
After considering the forecast Y.P.D. has determined this will be our patrol unit for the coming
days! Do not be alarmed if you see us out and about. If you don't have access a Tauntaun please
make sure to bring winter jacket, gloves, and hat while you travel. Be safe and stay warm this week!
Facebook Post (2/19/25): A huge thank you to Officers Shepherd and Gerlach for putting on an
excellent training this month! We focused on emergency medical tactics with some unique hands-
on exercises. The 3.5 minutes in the ice bucket was an intense but effective way to simulate shock
while applying tourniquets, really driving home the importance of staying calm and effective under
stress. Check out the short video from the day!
Facebook Post (2/24/25): Good morning! We’ll be out this morning conducting a Directed Patrol
in the downtown area monitoring for speeding and cell phone use violations. As always, please
continue to help us by doing your part in keeping the roadways safe for motorists and pedestrians.
Facebook Post (2/24/25): Traffic Alert Update : Route 47 at Galena Road
The traffic signals are currently flashing red again. Notification has been made and we do not have
a specific time when they will be restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
***Traffic Alert

In February 2025, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations in town.
These concerns were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All
citizen concerns were tracked for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further
addressed, (5) five years of crash data was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by
utilizing the department’s speed signs. These speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts,
speed data, and various times of day of violations. In addition, the department also relied upon its partnership
with EEI.

In February of 2025, the Investigations Unit has seen a rise in fraud and crypto-currency fraud
investigations. These types of investigations are labor intensive and difficult to solve. In order to
prevent falling victim to fraud scams, please be mindful to not provide anyone with your personal
information via telephone, text, or the internet, unless you are sure that it is for a legitimate reason.
If you are not sure, never provide your personal information. Also, do not send money to people
you have never met in person.
SRO Goldsmith had a busy month in February with five juveniles’ arrests stemming from incidents
inside the school district. Primarily, these arrests stemmed from students being in possession of
tobacco or illicit materials. With the change of the legal age to possess and consume tobacco
products, please remind juveniles that simply possessing tobacco products could end with a criminal
charge.

Facebook Post (March 3, 2025): We spotted Officer Kolowski out on Route 47 this morning,
keeping a watchful eye on our city! It’s awesome to see our most senior patrol officer staying so
dedicated every shift. We’re lucky to have you, Tim! BTW….cleanest squad award 19 years
running! Wishing Officer Kolowski and all our citizens a fantastic Wednesday!
Facebook Post (March 5, 2025): We've been made aware of multiple fraudulent calls from
scammers posing as Yorkville Police officers alleging outstanding warrants for those receiving the
call. Please note:
- We are NOT making these calls.
- We do not ask for nor do we share sensitive information over the telephone.
- Our officers will always provide a name and badge number upon request and offer a legitimate
avenue to verify our identity if you have concerns.
We appreciate your vigilance and apologize for any inconvenience.
Facebook Post (March 10, 2025): Good morning and a Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a
great weekend and adjusting nicely to the time change!!!
Facebook Post (March 10, 2025): SCAM ALERT
This morning, we received a report from a local church about scammers using sophisticated tactics.
These individuals are sending emails and utilizing AI-generated voices to request changes to direct
deposit accounts, payment details, and even asking church staff to purchase gift cards. These
messages and voice recordings are designed to appear highly authentic.
Protect Yourself:
Verify the identity of the sender or caller through trusted and independent means.
NEVER share financial information, passwords, or account details online or over the phone.
pppy
NEVER purchase gift cards for online or phone requests.
If something seems suspicious, trust your instincts and report it to local authorities immediately.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from scams!

a chance for strong storms!
Facebook Post (March 17, 2025): Yorkville Police Department seeks Illinois Law Enforcement
Accreditation
The Yorkville Police Department is pleased to announce details of our on-site assessment with the
Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP). ILEAP is a program designed to make
police organizations better by evaluating policy and procedures against established criteria.
Coupling the alignment of policy and written directives against best practices, is the process of
having criteria certified by an independent, authoritative body, the ILEAP Council. The Yorkville
Police Department is seeking tier 2 accreditation by an evaluation of our agency consisting of 181
professional standards in the areas of Training, Operations, Administration, and Personnel to ensure
meaningful and professional standards within our organization.
The On-Site Assessment is scheduled for March 20th and 21st. During this time, trained assessors
from peer agencies across the state will arrive to conduct inspections, file review, and audits of the
police department. These representatives of the Illinois Chiefs of Police Association will be
examining the department to ensure the Yorkville Police Department is worthy of the Illinois Law
Enforcement Accreditation Program’s (ILEAP) professional status.
Chief James Jensen and the accreditation team invite the public to voice their opinions, experiences,
and other information with the accreditation team. On March 20th from 4pm to 5pm, citizens may
call in to 630-553-8582 to speak privately with the representatives from ILEAP. The assessment
team wants to hear your experiences with the Yorkville Police Department and whether you, the
citizens, feel your police department should be accredited.
Once the on-site visit is completed, the assessment team confers, develops an on-site report, and
meets at the Illinois Chiefs of Police Association’s ILEAP Council meeting to discuss their findings.
The Council votes to determine if our agency has met the professional standards that form the
esteemed title of accreditation.
When you call in to 630-553-8582, you will be directly connected with the on-site assessment team.
In the event the assessment team is speaking with another citizen, you will be placed on a brief
hold. Calls will be answered in the order they are received. The assessment team will be working
in a private area. Feel confident that your opinions and issues will be heard by the assessment team
and forwarded to the Chief.
Facebook Post (March 19, 2025): Good morning! Looks like we have some inclement weather
coming our way, but rest assured, spring is around the corner! Have a great Wednesday!
Facebook Post (March 19, 2025): Time to suit up. Officer Camis answered the call-will you?
We're hiring. https://www.applytoserve.com/Application.aspx?ID=710
Facebook Post (March 21, 2025): YPD is grateful for the strong partnerships we share with our
business community. As Yorkville continues to grow, it’s refreshing to have such positive and
collaborative relationships with the businesses that make our town great.
Today, we had the pleasure of meeting with Kendall Partners, where Kevin and Jeff introduced
us to their inspiring “Partners in Purpose” program. Through this initiative, they generously donated
to our Christmas Shop with a Cop event.
Thank you, Kendall Partners, for your kindness and commitment to giving back. We couldn’t agree
more—it’s never too early to be thinking about CHRISTMAS!
Facebook Post (March 29, 2025): A thank you goes out to Cedarhurst of Yorkville for stopping
by and dropping off some delicious baked goods. A thank you also goes out to Officers Swanson
and Camis for sharing these with other Officers! We are truly grateful for our community.
Facebook Post (March 29, 2025): Good morning. Yorkville PD will be in the downtown area
monitoring speed and cell phone violations. Please continue to do your part, drive safely and have
a good weekend.
Facebook Post (March 30, 2025 ***Found Dog***

Officer Camis is looking for some assistance in getting this pup returned to his home. Unfortunately
there were negative results with the chip reader. Officer Camis will keep him company for a bit
before being taken over to Kendall County Animal Control. If you have any owner information,
please contact the Yorkville Police Department at 630-553-4340. Thank you! ):

Facebook Post (March 1, 2025): Yesterday, Deputy Chief Carlyle and Officer Swanson attended
“Winterim” at Cross Lutheran School. They spent time teaching students about policing, showing
off their gear, and even got to run the students through a mock scenario. We’d like to thank Cross
Lutheran for inviting us to participate in their event and allowing us to share our passion with the
students!
Facebook Post (March 3, 2025): GREAT NEWS… it’s Monday! Okay, maybe it still feels like
Monday no matter how we say it—but here’s some actual great news! Check out the short video
from this past Sunday, we took the plunge—literally—at the 2025 Polar Plunge at Loon Lake
alongside friends from across the county. We had a blast cannonballing into the icy water, all for a
great cause. Thanks to our amazing supporters, YPD raised over $3,000 for Special Olympics
Illinois! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and cheered us on. It was chilly but a
lovely day out. We’d do it all over again for such an incredible organization!
Facebook Post (March 6, 2025): Its throwback Thursday again and we're just going to leave this
right here.......
Facebook Post (March 7, 2025): Certainly not unique to only YPD, but we are proud of the strides
we have made in digital forensics and having 24/7 in-house capabilities is a significant asset.
Detective Ketchmark’s expertise in cell data evidence collection highlights the importance of tech-
driven policing in today’s world. And yes, there might just be some truth to the idea that more
screens equal more tech skills—Detective Ketchmark must be on another level!
Facebook Post (March 10, 2025): Special Olympics Merchandise
The Yorkville Police Department has merchandise, that benefits Special Olympics of Illinois, for
sale!
Hats $15

Yorkville Records Personnel are here to assist, Monday through Friday 7:00am to 5:00pm…don’t
miss out!
Facebook Post (March 13, 2025): Throwback Thursday Squad Car Edition Check out a
few designs over the years!
Facebook Post (March 20, 2025): What a difference a day makes!
Facebook Post (March 20, 2025): We've experienced all four seasons over the past 24 hours -
definitely over this most recent one! Nevertheless, Throwback Thursday is in full effect. This time
around we honor Chief Harold Martin (Ret.) Chief Martin's law enforcement career left a lasting
impact throughout Kendall County and here at YPD. Several of us here at YPD were fortunate to
begin our careers under his leadership, and his guidance helped shape who we are today.
Chief, we hope you're enjoying retirement!!! Please know we are doing our best to carry the YPD
torch forward but we will never match your style
Facebook Post (March 24, 2025): It’s spring! We want warm weather, and we want it NOW.
What are you most looking forward to this spring? We asked YPD, and here’s what they said…..
Facebook Post (March 27, 2025): It's Throwback Thursday and you're on the hook Officer
Goldsmith! Ryan has served the Yorkville Community for 19 years, most recently as our School
Resource Officer. We all agree that Ryan's consistently positive attitude is a joy to be around, and
we are grateful to have you on our team. Ryan, you're like a good country song.....you'll never go
out of style!

In March 2025, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations in town. These
concerns were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen concerns were
tracked for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5) five years of crash
data was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s speed signs. These
speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of day of violations. In
addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

Facebook Post (04/10/25): Yorkville Man Charged in Murder-for-Hire Plot.
A Yorkville man has been arrested and charged in a murder-for-hire plot to kill his former wife.
Mark A. Hellenthal (m/w 52 y.o.a. 2000 block Village View Dr. Yorkville, IL) was charged on
April 10th, 2025, with Solicitation of Murder (Class X felony) and Solicitation of Murder for Hire
(Class X felony) stemming from a Yorkville Police investigation that began on April 9th, 2025.
On April 9th, 2025, The Yorkville Police Department was alerted of a murder-for-hire plot
involving Hellenthal who had arranged with an individual to have his former wife killed. Hellenthal
provided the individual with information about the victim, including the location of her residence
and how to gain access. Once learning of the allegations, Yorkville Police launched an investigation
and were able to locate the victim arranging for her safety until the situation could be resolved.
On April 10th, 2025, Yorkville Police Investigations Division, with the assistance of Kendall
County Cooperative Police Assistance Team (CPAT), secured authorization to record
communications with Hellenthal. An undercover police officer posing as a hitman made contact
with Hellenthal during which conversation, Hellenthal provided details on how to access the
victim’s residence and offered the undercover officer U.S. currency and jewelry as payment for
killing his former wife. After the arrangements were communicated to police, Hellenthal was
located at his workplace with the assistance of the Downers Grove Police Department. Hellenthal
was then taken into custody by Yorkville Police Investigators and members of Kendall County
CPAT.
Hellenthal was transported to the Kendall County Jail, where he remains in custody pending a
detention hearing on April 11, 2025.
Charges are not proof of guilt. The defendant listed in this release is presumed innocent and is
entitled to a fair trial, at which it is the burden of the State to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

officer, commander of the Kendall County SRT, patrol sergeant, detective sergeant, and now
Deputy Chief.
Our community - and this agency - wouldn't be the same without your dedication and hard work.
You deserve all the honor and credit for your years of service.
You're alright Deputy Chief....not totally sure about the mustache though!!
Facebook Post (04/21/25): It's Administrative Professionals Week, and we're celebrating the heart
of our team!
These five incredible women truly make our world go 'round - and somehow, they manage to put
up with all of us in the process! We are sincerely grateful for their daily dedication, hard work, and
the way they keep everything running smoothy behind the scenes.
From managing every bit of paperwork to juggling the countless details that keep this agency
functioning, they are truly the glue that holds it all together.
This week we will be spotlighting each of them and giving them the appreciation they deserve.
Thanks for kicking off the week in style, ladies!
Facebook Post (04/22/25): Maggie Garcia!!!!
Maggie serves in our Records Division, handling reports, citations, daily paperwork, and assisting
the public at our front window. She is one of the most consistently positive and caring people we've
ever had the privilege of working with - one of those people who just makes you smile!
Maggie, your dedication, kindness, and genuine care for our community and everyone around here
doesn't go unnoticed. We just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Our city and our
agency are better because you are here!
Facebook Post (04/23/25): Crystal Bieritz!!
We know you don't like the spotlight, but today it's all yours!
As we celebrate Administrative Professionals Week, we want to shine a well-earned light on
Crystal. She serves in our Records Division - helping process everything that comes through this
agency, assisting the public, and taking on daily side quests without missing a beat.
What many don't see are the early mornings she spends opening the office, or the late nights
dedicated to supporting our Police Commission.
Crystal, we see the work you put in, and it DOES NOT go unnoticed. We are truly grateful for your
dedication and consistent professionalism. "Thank you" doesn't seem like enough - but please know
we are a stronger, better team because of you.
Facebook Post (04/24/25): We're hitting pause on Throwback Thursday to keep the spotlight on
Administrative Professionals Week. Great news today is all about you Kendall Harris!!!
Kendall, since joining our team we've noticed two consistent things. You are always on task, and
you always have a smile on your face. You might not realize how much of a difference those two
things make, but what you bring to the table makes this agency better every single day.
We're proud to have you on the team and truly VALUE everything you do for our citizens and
YPD. THANK YOU for being you! Don't every change, no matter what Maggie Garcia says!
Facebook Post (04/25/25): Friday is for Amy Densberger!
As Administrative Professionals Week rolls on, today we honor Amy Densberger.
How do we even begin to express our thanks for one of the most professional, hardworking, and
kind individuals we’ve ever met? Amy serves as our training coordinator and handles all things
training for our agency. And she does it with absolute excellence!
Our training program has reached new heights under Amy's care. Training hours and opportunities
have increased, new instructors have been added, we’ve begun hosting regional training classes
right here in our building, and we’ve certified multiple in-house trainings with the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training and Standards Board. Amy is the failsafe, ensuring that every one of us
meets—and exceeds—the police training standards set by the state. It’s a massive responsibility,
and if not done properly, it carries serious consequences. We are grateful that with Amy's oversight,
we never have to worry.
Amy, we’ve grown used to expecting greatness from you—and somehow, you continue to exceed
even those expectations. And you still find time to feed Eli his doggie treats!
THANK YOU for making sure we are always at our best. Your impact is felt every single day.
Facebook Post (04/25/25): ***Scam Alert***
The Yorkville Police Department has been made aware of a person purporting to be a Sergeant with
the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office and demanding payment via PayPal for missing jury duty.
THIS IS A SCAM. No law enforcement agency will use PayPal or any other non-traditional forms
of payment to resolve criminal matters.
When in doubt hang up and contact our non-emergency number at (630)553-4340 to speak with a
patrol officer.
Facebook Post (04/26/25): As we wrap up Administrative Professionals Week, we’ve saved our
Records Supervisor, Kirsten Balog, for last!
Kirsten oversees our Records Division and manages countless essential tasks at YPD. From
monthly and annual reports to purchasing documents, payroll, FOIA requests—you name it, she’s
on it—all while jumping in to tackle the daily workload alongside her team. Honestly, we could
keep going, but it is Saturday!
Kirsten, your easygoing nature and great sense of humor make every day better. We might like to
joke more often than we should, but please know we SEE your hard work and we HONOR all that
you do. Your division runs smoothly because of your leadership, and that success reflects directly
back to you.
We are truly lucky to have you, Kirsten. Thank you for everything!

***UPDATE***
Police are clear the scene thank you for everyone’s patience.
There is additional police presence in the area due to the Yorkville Police working an active
investigation. There is no immediate threat to the public.

We're grateful for our instructors who continually invest in our officers, and our officers who never

Facebook Post (04/10/25): Throwback Thursday - Commander McMahon Edition!
We've uncovered photographic proof that Commander McMahon knows how to smile!!
For over 20 years, Pat has served the City of Yorkville in roles ranging from Patrol Officer, Officer
in Charge, Detective, and Detective Sergeant, to Commander of the Major Crimes Task Force, and
now Patrol Commander.
In all sincerity, Commander McMahon's commitment to this department and our community is
second to none. He is a police officer through and through.
We're proud of you Pat! Bring back that smile from time to time!
Facebook Post (04/28/25): Welcome back, Officer Tickel and Officer Wade!
Our two newest officers graduated this past Friday from the Macon County Law Enforcement
Academy with high marks. We're excited to have them back - and we're pretty sure they're happy
to no longer be making the weekly trip to Decatur!
They will now begin their 16-week field training program to put the finishing touches on their
academy learning. Officers Tickel and Wade bring exactly the high-quality character and
enthusiasm that will serve our Yorkville community well.
Be sure to say hello and welcome them when you see them out and about!

TRAFFIC COMPLAINT / ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
In April 2025, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations in town. These concerns
were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen concerns were tracked
for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5) five years of crash data
was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s speed signs. These
speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of day of violations. In
addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
On 04/09/2025, the Investigation’s Unit was contacted by the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s
Office regarding a Murder for Hire Plot that was reported to them. An investigation immediately
began into that allegation and contact was made with the would-be assassin and their attorney. After
obtaining a statement and evidence from that person, the suspect was identified as Mark Hellenthal
(52 years old) and it was determined that Mark was attempting to hire and/or induce two other
people to murder his ex-wife. With that information, the Investigation’s Unit contacted the Kendall
County Cooperative Police Assistance Team and utilized an undercover agent, which had contact
with Hellenthal. Hellenthal then solicited the undercover officer to murder his ex-wife. With that
information, Hellenthal was taken into custody at his work in Downers Grove, Illinois. Hellenthal
was charged with Solicitation of Murder and Solicitation of Murder for Hire, both class X felonies.
This investigation is currently ongoing.
The Investigation’s Unit also responded and is currently investigating two Criminal Sexual
Assaults, two Aggravated Batteries, and multiple financial crimes that were assigned to
investigations during the month of April.
On 04/05/2025, SRO Goldsmith was notified by the Yorkville High School that two juvenile
students had made entry to the school after hours and without authorization. Those students were
identified and subsequently charged with Burglary.

Com-Ed has an approximate 30-minute eta to the scene.
Please avoid the area and consider an alter route. Apologies for any inconvenience.
***UPDATE***
Com-Ed is on scene. At this time,it’s estimated that the road will be closed until 6 PM.
Facebook Post (5/15/25): N.W.S. is sharing concerns for strong scattered thunderstorms in our
area beginning this evening and continuing into tonight. Reports show conditions are prime for a
significant chance of hail. It is probably our fault.....we washed squad cars today. Please be mindful
of the weather and travel safely.
Facebook Post (5/22/25): 400 Block of Norway Cir
There is additional police presence in the area due to the Yorkville Police working an active
investigation. There is no immediate threat to the public.
***UPDATE***
Police are clear the scene thank you for everyone’s patience.
Facebook Post (5/25/25): When on patrol, we never know what we might be dispatched to. In this
case, our officers were tasked with saving a brood of ducklings from a storm drain. With some
careful coordination (and a lot of quacking), our officers were able to safely rescue the ducklings
and reunite them with their very grateful mother.
It’s not every day we get to play duck wrangler, but we’re always ready to serve and protect -all
creatures great and small!

Facebook Post (5/1/25): It’s Throwback Thursday and we’re looking at you, Sergeant Hart!
These really are “throwback” photos from over the years—but honestly, not much has changed.
You’ve aged gracefully compared to the rest of us!
It feels perfectly fitting that you’re graduating this weekend with your master’s degree in social
work. Looking back at these moments, it’s clear you've always had passion, care, and dedication to
our community. It's so important to have those relationships with the community and we couldn't
be more proud of your work. THANK YOU for your continued service to Yorkville, and
congratulations, a master's degree is no small feat. Just F.Y.I. When you finally start showing some
grey hair, we’re reposting!
Facebook Post (5/5/25): Please join us in celebrating Sgt. Robbie Hart on completing his Master
of Social Work (MSW) program with Aurora University! Balancing a full-time supervisor
workload, family responsibilities, and graduate studies is seriously no joke. You earned that one
Robbie! We are incredibly proud of you.
Facebook Post (5/8/25): It's Thursday.....Time to throw it back!
Officer Jeff Johnson has proudly served our Yorkville community for an incredible 23 years.
Throughout his career at YPD, he’s worn many hats: Field Training Officer, Kendall County SRT
member, K-9 officer alongside his partner O’Neil, and most recently, Detective.
Jeff has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence. He comes to work each day with
high expectations and a genuine desire to see our agency continue to grow and succeed. Jeff, in two
decades of service you have witnessed a lot, weathered challenges, mentored others, and helped
shape YPD into what it is today.
Detective Johnson, thank you for your unwavering service and dedication—to our agency and to
the people of Yorkville. We’re very proud to work alongside you.
And of course… we’ve always wondered what Ross Geller would look like as a police officer.
Thanks to you, we have our answer!

Facebook Post (5/15/25): TODAY, TOMORROW, AND YESTERDAY…
TODAY, we’re getting ready for TOMORROW—raising money for Special Olympics Illinois by
taking part in Cop on a Rooftop at our Yorkville Dunkin’ locations!
So for this Throwback Thursday, we’re taking a moment to look back at YESTERDAY—at the
years of connection we’ve built with our community and the partnership of support for Special
Olympics. We’re proud to be part of a long line of individuals who have chosen commitment to
causes greater than themselves.
We’re honored to carry the torch now—and we hope we’re setting an example worth following.
(Maybe no clowns this time though…)
Set your reminders! Stop by your local Yorkville Dunkin’ this Friday 05/16, say hello, grab a coffee,
and support the amazing athletes of Special Olympics Illinois!
Facebook Post (5/16/25): Police officers at a donut shop….it’s like spotting a unicorn in the wild.
UPDATE: What a fun morning. It is life giving to interact with our community and see the
support for our Special Olympics athletes. THANK YOU to all who volunteered their time and to
all those who donated. Have a great weekend. Today is Cop on Rooftop supporting Special
Olympics Illinois. Come visit us at our Yorkville Dunkin locations and help a great cause!
Facebook Post (5/22/25): It's Throwback Thursday and we're gearing up for summer festival
season! Check out this crew from Hometown Days of years past - maybe a little older now,
but just as ready to dive into another fun-filled summer with our community.
We're kicking things off TONIGHT with Margaritas En Mayo fiesta at the Riverfront Park from 5-
9p. Come join us as we celebrate the arrival of summer.
Facebook Post (5/22/25): *** Roadway Closure *** 9:53pm 5/22/25
US Route 71 will be closed in both directions at the intersection with Eldamain Rd. for the next

Thank you for your patience.

Facebook Post (5/26/25): Please join us at Town Square Park today at 11:30 while we pay tribute
to our veterans that lost their lives in service to our nation.
Facebook Post (5/27/25): Any definition of a successful life must include serving others.”
— George H.W. Bush
As we have closed out Police Week and Memorial Day, we welcome the official start of summer
with gratitude in our hearts. These past days have served as a somber reminder of those who made
the selfless choice to serve and protect others.
We honor their sacrifice—and as we move forward, we want to continue that spirit of service for
our Yorkville community. Wishing everyone a safe, joyful week and a summer full of good times
and great memories.
Facebook Post (5/27/25): Thank you to everyone that came out to honor and remember our fallen
service members yesterday. This moving tribute would not have been possible without the
American Legion, Boy Scouts, our Parks and Recreation Department, our citizens, and of course,
our veterans that turned out to honor their fallen comrades.
Facebook Post (5/29/25): We're pressing pause on Throwback Thursday for the summer, so we
thought this one would be a good send-off.
If Pictures could talk, this one could tell some stories! In this photo we see faces of those who have
retired, other who are serving with federal agencies, and still others who have received several
promotions, but what makes us most proud is that each one has served our community with
enthusiasm.
As we approach summer, we look forward to a new generation of YPD stepping in - sharing in the
summer fun and continuing to partner with our community to keep Yorkville a great place to be.

TRAFFIC COMPLAINT / ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
In May 2025, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations in town. These concerns
were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen concerns were tracked
for potential issues. In some cases, to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5) five years of crash data
was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s speed signs. These
speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of day of violations. In
addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
In May of 2025, SRO Goldsmith charged 3 juveniles with possessing alcohol by a minor while on
school grounds.
May marks the end of SRO Goldsmith’s tenure as the SRO for the Yorkville School District. SRO
Goldsmith became the SRO in 2018 and has truly revolutionized the idea of “SRO” within the
Yorkville Police Department and the community. SRO Goldsmith was nominated for Officer of the
Year in 2020 for his performance as an SRO during 2019. He will be truly missed by the members
of the Yorkville School District and the students.

compliance with State and Federal safety regulations to enhance roadway safety.
James Jensen Chief of Police
Name Department
Summary
The Yorkville Police Department would look to develop a Truck Enforcement Program focusing on
ensuring commercial vehicle compliance with State and Federal safety regulations to enhance roadway
safety.
Background
The Yorkville Police Department's Truck Enforcement Program will be dedicated to promoting roadway
safety and protecting infrastructure by ensuring that commercial vehicles comply with state and federal
safety regulations. This program will include comprehensive inspections of commercial vehicles,
focusing on key areas such as weight compliance, proper load securement, equipment functionality, and
operator licensing standards. Through targeted enforcement, the program addresses issues like
overweight vehicles, unsafe equipment, and improperly trained drivers, which can lead to accidents or
roadway damage. Additionally, the program plays a proactive role in educating commercial operators
about safety requirements and compliance standards, fostering a culture of responsibility within the
trucking industry. By maintaining strict oversight, the program not only prevents potential hazards but
also contributes to preserving Yorkville's roads and highways for long-term use.
