(Berwyn, IL) – The Berwyn Police Department is proud to celebrate the 4-year anniversary of one of its most beloved team members, PaPawfficer Romeo the department’s dedicated therapy dog, whose compassion, charm, and calming presence have made an immeasurable impact on the Berwyn community.
Originally rescued and adopted into service, Romeo is now a 6-year-old mix of Pitbull, German Shepherd, and Labrador Retriever. What makes him truly special, however, isn’t just his unique blend of breeds; it’s his exceptional training and natural ability to provide comfort and affection. Romeo offers emotional support to children in schools and hospitals, victims of crime or disaster, and he brings the same comfort to Berwyn Police Department employees who benefit greatly from his presence.
Beyond his professional skills, Romeo is full of personality. He loves watching squirrels and rabbits, never turns down a belly rub, and enjoys frequent visits to the dog park where he reunites with his furry friends. As a popular pup with purpose, Pawfficer Romeo keeps a full schedule year-round. His calendar is often booked with community event appearances, hospital visits, school presentations, senior outreach, and neighborhood block parties throughout the summer.
Romeo has also become a familiar face in Berwyn through his lively social media presence, where he stays connected to residents and showcases his adventures as a community ambassador. His friendly demeanor and gentle spirit have helped him make countless friends, young and old.
Internally, Pawfficer Romeo has served as a vital source of comfort for officers and support staff. For members of the public, he has been a calming companion during some of their most difficult moments. His unwavering dedication has made him a tremendous asset to the department and the community alike.
“Pawfficer Romeo is pawsitively devoted to Berwyn,” said the Berwyn Police Department. “We are incredibly grateful for the compassion, joy, and healing he brings to our community every day. Today, we honor and celebrate all of the pawsitive influence he has brought to Berwyn over these past four years.”
The Berwyn Police Department looks forward to many more years with Pawfficer Romeo serving as a symbol of comfort, connection, and community care.

The mustaches are coming in strong over here at Berwyn PD — and we’ve got the progress pics to prove it! 😎👮♂️
🚫🪒This November, some of our officers are putting the razors down and growing their ’staches to support men’s health awareness. Behind every new whisker is a commitment to promoting mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer support.
If these mustaches made you smile (or made you do a double-take 👀), please consider donating to this important cause.
💙 Let’s make a difference — one magnificent mustache at a time!

(Berwyn, IL) – The Berwyn Police Department has elected, effective immediately, to suspend all Flock Safety Technology data sharing in order to allow for further discussion and to thoughtfully address community apprehensions. This decision reflects our ongoing commitment to working collaboratively with our residents and ensuring their safety and trust.
The Berwyn Police Department remains firmly committed to complying with all local, state, and federal laws. Transparency and ethical practices are foundational to our operations. Data collected through Flock Safety is managed with the utmost care, in full alignment with established record retention schedules and with proper responses to lawful requests. Our department has implemented robust safeguards to protect community information, and we reaffirm our commitment to the Welcoming Ordinance, ensuring that Flock data will never be used to investigate or enforce immigration laws.
We acknowledge and understand the concerns raised regarding data sharing, particularly in light of practices reported in other jurisdictions. These concerns deserve careful consideration, and this action allows the opportunity for continued conversation with our community partners.
At the same time, it is important to note that terminating the Flock contract would significantly hinder our ability to respond swiftly to critical incidents, potentially leaving our community more vulnerable to crime. Flock technology has repeatedly proven effective in solving violent crimes, locating missing persons, recovering stolen vehicles, and apprehending dangerous suspects. It remains a crucial tool in our efforts to maintain the safety and well-being of Berwyn residents.
The Berwyn Police Department values open dialogue and remains committed to working together with our community to ensure both safety and trust remain paramount.
