Cell Phones Wanted for Emergency Use

In an effort to utilize this requirement to the benefit of Wood Dale residents who may be considered "at risk" due to either age, physical condition, or temporary medical infirmity, the Wood Dale Police Department has initiated the "Cell Phones for Safety" program. This program provides donated cell phones to identified individuals who will then be able to call for help in the event of an emergency when they may not have readily available access to a land line telephone. Residents are asked to deliver otherwise workable cellular telephones, along with any applicable accessories and owners manuals to Officer Frank Chiero at the Wood Dale Police Department.

If you have any questions, wish to participate in the "Cell Phones for Safety" program, or know of an individual who may be in need of assistance, please contact Officers Frank Chiero or Steve LeJeune of the Wood Dale Police Department at 630/766-2060.
