MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY

Kendall County · Illinois
Incorporated boundary

YORKVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT

Documented surveillance systems.

DOCUMENTED

ALPR

Yorkville Police automated license-plate-reader policy

Yorkville Police publishes an ALPR policy governing fixed readers, alerts, hot lists, access, audit procedures, storage, retention, and law-enforcement use. The policy confirms department use of ALPR technology but does not establish a current camera count on its own.

DOCUMENTED

Drones / UAS

Yorkville Police UAS program

Yorkville Police publishes a detailed UAS operations policy with annual reporting, deployment documentation, review, disclosure, and 30-day destruction requirements for non-exempt recordings. Public Safety Committee minutes reviewing the 2023 annual report also note department drone use and trained operators.

OWNERSHIP / SCOPE

Regional access is not the same thing as municipal ownership.

KenCom operates a shared Kendall County public-safety environment. NoRec only assigns equipment counts to Yorkville when a primary record attributes the device or subscription to the municipality or its police department. Regional camera counts and other agencies' devices are not copied into this city dossier.

PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA

Records and official sources.

Primary government records are preferred. Where practical, NoRec keeps a local archival copy alongside the official source so citations remain auditable if a government URL later changes.
