Join the 50/50 Tree Program: Beautify Our Community Together!

We invite you to participate in the Village's 50/50 Tree Program, where you can contribute to a greener, more beautiful neighborhood. Here's how it works:

• Shared Cost: The Village will cover half the cost of planting a tree in the parkway.
• Quality Trees: Your tree will come balled in burlap, ensuring it's strong and healthy.
• Guaranteed: Your tree is guaranteed for one year, giving you peace of mind.
• Professional Planting: Our skilled Public Works Department will handle the planting this fall.

Important Details

• Location: Trees will be planted in the parkway only and cannot be placed on private property.
• Follow-Up: Keep an eye on your tree next summer. If you spot any issues, contact us promptly, and we'll inspect it before the guarantee expires.

Join us in enhancing our community's natural beauty. Sign up for the 50/50 Tree Program today and watch your contribution grow into a lasting legacy! Order now while supplies last.

Police Launch Frontline Public Safety Solutions Online Portal

The Deerfield Police Department is pleased to announce the implementation of the Frontline Public Safety Solutions online portal, offering residents an additional, convenient way to request overnight parking permission, arrange a home watch while on vacation, or add Information for at risk residents. 

 The online portal allows residents to:

• Request Overnight Parking Permission: In accordance with Village ordinance 0-19-36 (11-18-2019), Section 22-67 parking on Village streets for a period of time longer than thirty minutes is prohibited between 2 a.m and 6 a.m. Residents needing to park a vehicle overnight must request permission either through the online portal or by calling the Deerfield Police Department’s non-emergency number at 847.945.8636. Requests must be received before 2 a.m. to avoid potential citations. Permission shall be limited to the overnight parking of 12 vehicles, in the aggregate, to the members of a single household during any 12-month period; with any special or additional requests handled by calling the department.
• Request a Vacation Home Watch: Residents planning to leave their homes vacant for an extended period can now request a home watch through the online portal or by phone.
• Add Information for At Risk Residents: Families can provide important details about at-risk individuals in their household, such as those with medical conditions or disabilities, ensuring that first responders have the necessary information in case of an emergency.

The Deerfield Police Department hopes that the introduction of this online portal will make these processes more efficient and accessible for all residents. The portal can be accessed from any device with internet capabilities, including cell phones, tablets and computers.
