The St. Charles Police Department has designated two parking spots outside the police station at 1515 W. Main Street to safely conduct internet purchase transactions and child custody exchanges. The spots are indicated with signage. The lobby of the police station will continue to serve as a safe place for conducting these transactions as well.
Both the lobby and parking spots are monitored by security cameras, and their close proximity to police personnel means residents can meet there with confidence.
If you notice a streetlight (not traffic signal) is out, flickering or needs repair, you can notify us with the online service form. Fill it out and include your contact information so we can contact you if more information is needed. Streetlights are generally repaired on Fridays. Call the Public Works office at 630.377.4405 for more information or assistance in reporting a streetlight issue. Thanks for your help!

Not too long ago, an infant was found deceased in a backpack along a roadway in unincorporated Wheaton. Incidents like this are incredibly sad, and they should not happen. Please help us spread the word about Illinois' Safe Haven law, which gives a desperate parent a safe alternative to abandoning their baby.
Newborns up to 30 days old can be brought to any hospital, emergency care facility, staffed police station or staffed fire station–no questions asked. The baby is taken to a hospital for a check up and then placed with a pre-approved adoptive family.
If you are a St. Charles Electric Utility customer, be sure to register your phone number with the automated telephone notification system.
Based on caller I.D. technology, the system links your phone number to your account. When you call to report an outage, the system automatically identifies your location and relays the outage information, reducing crew response times. You also can opt for a call back to confirm power restoration.
