Police, fire, and emergency services are fully staffed and that will not change. Your first responders are ready at all times to step in should an emergency arise. The Northfield Public Works Department will continue working as well, but in order to protect both staff and residents, non-essential services such as construction site inspections and meter reading may be delayed. Questions about the availability of these services should be directed to (847) 441-3810. The administrative staff will continue working but mainly remotely. All of our municipal buildings will be closed to walk-in public access. If you need any general assistance please call (847) 446-9200. Staff will either help you over the phone or will make an appointment if the matter is urgent. The doors to all municipal buildings will otherwise be closed. This step is being taken to promote social distancing as recommended by health officials.

In an effort to limit the exposure to and spread of coronavirus, effective immediately the Police Department will be making the following changes.  These changes are temporary only, and the Police Department will be returning to normal operations as soon as safety permits.
- Officers will only be responding in-person to emergency, in-progress, and alarm calls.  To report any non-emergency incident, contact the Police Dispatch Center by calling 847-446-2131, then choosing option 1.  The dispatcher will take your information and arrange for an officer to contact you by phone as soon as possible.
-  The Police Department lobby will be for emergency use only.  For all other Police requests, contact the Police Dispatch Center by calling 847-446-2131, then choosing option 1.  The dispatcher will take your information and arrange for an officer to contact you by phone as soon as possible.
- The Police Department will not be doing employment fingerprinting.
- The Police Department will not be doing child safety seat installations.
This is a rapidly changing situation and these decisions were made in order to limit exposure and the spread of coronavirus and to protect the health and safety of our residents and staff. The Village will continue to closely monitor the situation and adjust as needed.
