Police Commission

Required by State statue 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1, the Board of Fire and Police Commission is a 3 member commission, that is appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the Board, that discusses matters related to Police Department personnel. Specifically, the commission involved with the advertising and hiring of new Police officers, including testing procedures, review of applications, and establishing an eligibility list. Despite its name, the Itasca’s Fire and Police Commission only addresses matters pertaining to the Police Department, as the Fire District is a separate government entity. 

Members are appointed for 3-year terms and until their respective successors are appointed and qualified. 

• Kenneth Machynia, Chairman
• Mike Blackburn 
• Jeff Craven
