We had an amazing time connecting with so many bright, curious, and motivated students at the Freedom Middle School Career Fair earlier this week! The Berwyn Police Department loved sharing what a career in law enforcement can look like, and we were inspired by the number of young people who stopped by with great questions and big dreams.
And of course, things wouldn’t be complete without Pawfficer Romeo tagging along and bringing some extra fun to the event 🐶 😄

I want to take a moment to address recent social media posts regarding allegations of a Berwyn Police officer being involved in a traffic accident in the Village of North Riverside on December 29, 2025.
I understand that allegations like these are very concerning, and I want to be clear that the safety of our community remains our highest priority. The men and women of the Berwyn Police Department are committed to serving with integrity, accountability, and transparency, and I remain dedicated to ensuring that trust with our residents is upheld.
The accused officer has been relieved of police powers and is the subject of an ongoing internal affairs investigation. The Berwyn Police Department is following all mandated internal disciplinary processes while respecting the integrity of the independent investigations being conducted by the North Riverside Police Department and Cook County States Attorney’s office.
These allegations are being taken very seriously and will require a thorough investigation. Due to the nature of the allegations and our commitment to the legal process, there are no additional details that can be shared at this time.
We appreciate the outpouring of concern for Pawfficer Romeo and want to reassure our community that he is doing well, as can be seen by his attendance at several recent community events.
Sincerely, Michael Fellows Acting Chief of Police Berwyn Police Department ... See MoreSee Less
