The DeKalb Police Department is joining several other agencies in a crackdown on drug dealers in the area over the next few days. Beginning Thursday, officers will be sweeping for offenders wanted on warrants for drug-related crimes and other offenses. That may mean that residents see a larger than usual police presence but residents should not be alarmed.
One focus of the department’s Community Oriented Policing Unit, or COP(s) Unit, is bringing in known offenders wanted on warrants. From January 1st of this year to now, the department has brought in nearly 375 persons wanted on warrants; many of those warrants were from jurisdictions outside DeKalb County.
The COP(s) Unit will be proactive during this stretch of time, being visible at locations where crimes have been occurring at the times when they’re most likely to happen.
The DeKalb Police Department is urging the public to keep an eye out for trouble in their neighborhoods – and not to hesitate contacting police if they see anything suspicious. The DeKalb Police Department is located at 700 W Lincoln Highway in DeKalb, phone: 815-748-8400, Tips Hotline: 815-673-7603, Emergency: 911.

Here comes the go back to Chicago comment as usual
Good!
Great-now if they will stop the local private investigators from stalking, harass, defaming and stealing legally purchased items from my home. Rochelle elem 231 harassment. They are not above the law.
???
Is that really happening tho? That’s. F***** up if is
Thanks, DPD!
Not really smart to warn people. Anyone who has a half a brain cell will get lost before Thursday.
You guys suck at everything you do ð
That’s ok give them a heads up because they are so smart they will never get caught!! Bad boys what cha gonna do!!
Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do when they come for you!!
Go for it!
GOOD……………..like Matt said, they will head back to chicago now.. agree this should be done weekly
Unfortunately they aren’t all from Chicago. Dekalb co. & the city of dekalb have plenty of asshats that have warrants. Trust me.
Katie Anne Baldauf most of those came from out of town but have resided in dek co for yrs
Have you seen the ten most wanted? None are from Chicago. Nice try.
It’s to pretend they all come to dekalb from Chicago but that’s not totally true. They come from all over. Many were born and raised in dekalb county. I was born and raised in dekalb and only left when I got married and my husband joined the military. Haven’t moved back well look at it now, but my family still lives there and my friends are still all there. I see more graduates of dekalb high school on police news then true Chicago residents or those that moved here from Chicago. Just saying. If you know the names of the families who have been here forever you’d know too that it’s more than Chicago trouble.

Katie Anne Baldauf douglas-here, colin- cicero record, rodriguez-dekalb-aroura, gormna-has rockford record, hernandez-dek,aroura-rockford….do the reserach..not all from here
Never said they were! But thanks for trying to educate me when clearly you can’t read!
Katie Anne Baldauf clearing you cant read either, SOME have records in other counties not just cook

This broad is an idiot cause she believes all criminals in dekalb county are from Chicago ðððð
Saunya Marie you show how ignorant you really are. Educate yourself so you don’t look so ignorant with your street attitude

Warrant sweeps = $$$$$
Police = lowest form of enforcement on earth = revenue generators.
Go get them! I’m all for cleaning up Dekalb.
Better start with the police force ð
Gotta love the press. Some things don’t need to be reported until after the fact.
You realize DPD does these press releases on purpose and for a reason.
Chadwick Robinson Whitney I get that. This applies to them also. We do t need advance warning. Great, there’s a heavier police presence. Explain afterwards.
Letting the criminals how constantly avoid their warrants know to leave the area for bit. Great way to catch em’ . It’s pointless to let the public know beforehand.
jail must be empty. lets fill er up! but either way…go get em.
Gotta make money somehow! Why not incarcerate low level on violent drug offenders! Woo, DeKalb!
And release the child molestors. Dekalb county kills me ð
Saunya Marie and Guy Hansen, you both are 110% correct!
about time !!!
I appreciate the warning, but this seems counter productive to what you are trying to accomplish.
Yeah, give em a heads up so they can go back and hide in Chicago until it’s safe to come back. I agree with Jay Armes, why not do this all the time… ?
Shouldn’t they always be doing this, not just certain times of the year? They are always Johnny on the spot when it comes to running raider.
Wow! Why would you post it?
I get warning the public about the additional police presence but couldn’t you have said it was because the college kids are back or something? This is like a billboard telling the criminals to leave town ð
Let’s hope they leave and never come back!
Why announce it? Good luck smh
Awesome!!!
Loll dam ya blew your cover!

Good that means they will stop stalking the law abiding citizens for a bitð. Cops need to stay busy, it stops them from being on petty b.s.ð
