Police and Security Services
Public Safety Patrol (847) 404-6272
Mettawa patrols the village throughout the week. This resident service is provided in addition to the coverage provided by the Lake County Sheriff's department. The Mettawa Security vehicle is easily identifiable by the Mettawa Public Safety logo visible on the white pick-up truck. If you would like to have your house checked while you are out our town, please contact Mettawa Public Safety for this service.
Mettawa is dedicated to the protection and security of all residents and, in partnership with the Lake County Sheriff's department, to providing quality public safety services.
Lake County Sheriff's Department
The Village has an emergency services agreement with the Lake County Sheriff's Department. Calls made to 911 will result in a response from the Sheriff's Department. The Department also responds to automatic alarms, traffic accidents and crime incidents in our residential and commercial areas. While the Sheriff's Deputies do not provide routine patrol in the Village, they are nearby serving the unincorporated areas in southeast Lake County.
