    Background Request Information

     

    Letter of Good Standing or Incident Outcome

    If you are in need of a letter of good standing while residing in Berwyn or a letter explaining the outcome of an incident occurring in Berwyn for immigration or legal purposes, you need to follow the information below.

    Please read the information below prior to requesting a letter from the Berwyn Police Department:

    • Verify that the case in question was handled by the Berwyn Police Department.  If the case did not occur in Berwyn and or was not investigated by the Berwyn Police Department, then this is not the correct police department to handle your letter request.
    • Verify that you did in fact reside in Berwyn for the period of time needed for your letter request.

    If all of the above can be verified, then you need to submit the following:

    • provide a current ID
    • contact information (current phone # and home address)
    • copy of US immigration letter
    • copy of the police report (if needed for your letter request)
    • proof of Berwyn residency (if needed for your letter request)

     

    You must make an appointment with the administrative assistant in the Criminal Investigations Unit prior to bringing all the required documents. To make arrangements or if you have other questions call 708.795.2115.

     

     

    Criminal History Record

    If you or an employer are in need of your criminal history, you must request for Access and Review. The Berwyn Police Department booking officers will process a “fingerprinting card” digitally with Live Scan that will be sent to the Illinois State Police who in turn will send your criminal history transcript or, if no criminal history is found, a written statement to the address provided by you. Please note that the results may take up to 45 days or possibly longer and all inquiries must go directly to the State Police as they are the ones processing the criminal history. You can email all inquiries to isp.contact@illinois.gov

     

    If you have determined that you need Access and Review, then you need to do the following:

    • go to the station front desk, during regular business hours, and request for Access and Review
    • provide a current driver’s license or state ID
    • pay $50 processing fee (cash or money order, no personal checks)
    • contact information (current phone # and home address)
    • complete mailing address if different from home address
