Deerfield Police Department 850 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL 60015, Emergency: 9-1-1, Non-Emergency: 847-945-8636 History
In 1840, Deerfield Township was known by the name of Leclair.

What is now known as Deerfield was originally settled in 1835. The name Deerfield was given around 1849 or 1850 when townships were being formed in Lake County. Deerfield was named for Deerfield, Massachusetts, and also be- cause of the deer abounding in this area. The Village of Deerfield was incorporated in 1903 and at that time the Police Department consisted of a constable who had many other duties. In 1906 there were eight automobiles in Deerfield and the speed limit was eight miles per hour. Fines ranged from $10 to $50 for exceeding the limit. In 1927, the Village had its first jail and it was housed, along with the Village offices, in the Ma- sonic Temple. In 1939, a second policeman was hired by the Village as a night patrolman. The Police Department, located at 850 Waukegan Road, was remodeled in 2001. The Department is made up of thirty-nine sworn Police Officers, one Community Services Officer, ten Telecommunicators, an Administrative Secretary, two Records Clerks, two members of Social Services, and nine Crossing Guards. The police fleet is made up of ten marked vehicles, and seven unmarked squad cars.
