The goal of the committee was to re-visit the original 2002 Public Safety Task Force's findings and update the information using more current data. The Homer Glen Police Task Force gave a Power Point presentation to the Board of Trustees on February 12, 2008 regarding their final research report. The Village Board will continue future discussion regarding these findings prior to any approved action.
