The Jacksonville Police condemn the actions that lead to the tragic and senseless death of Sonya Massey. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July

*Information* Day 2 of the multi-jurisdictional training event is again taking place on the old campus of MacMurray College and the grounds of the former AC Humko. This is training only and not an active situation

Have a safe Memorial Day and remember to honor those who served and gave all.

Our JPD cadets and Officer McNeely decided to "hang around" the Jacksonville Fire Department. They were taught rescue repelling and rescue safety.

Today the Jacksonville Police Department sends our condolences to the family of former retired Lieutenant Donald Seymour who served from January 9th 1967 until March 14th 1994 when he retired after 27 years.

Thank you to Routt Catholic High School for providing care kits for those individuals who are in need within our community. The kits contained hygiene products, snacks, and other items to help those individuals.

This is why we love our community. Thanks for having us!!! 💙

Thanks again, to our very own law enforcement, the Jacksonville Illinois Police Department!

**It has come to our attention that a fraudulent request is going around with someone pretending to be Mayor Ezard. The email request is asking the receiving party to purchase Apple gift cards due to the Mayor being out of town. This is not true and the Mayor is not asking anyone to purchase him gift cards of any type. **

Thank you to all the Veterans, but especially our past and current officers who served!!!
