Shiloh Police and many of the Village's residents have learned that the best protection for one's home sometimes can lie in the caring eyes of neighbors. The Neighborhood Watch Program emphasizes just that! Several neightborhoods in Shiloh have organized themselves into designated "Neighborhood Watch Blocks", keeping a careful eye on each others' homes and properties. Look for Neighborhood Watch signs in your neighborhood, and get involved. Or, start your own neighborhood watch group with the help of our Police Department. The service is free; all you need to do is fill out the required form. This form can be obtained at the Shiloh Village Municipal Building.

This month's safety tip:

Do you have a car with a panic alarm, but no alarm on your house? Keep your keys on the night-stand when you sleep. If you hear someone trying to get in your house, setting of the panic alarm on the car should send them running and you don't have to leave your bedroom to do it.

Employment:

No positions are available at this time.
