Riverside moves to house arrestees in Berwyn Brookfield made the switch in August
A century
By TRENT BROWN Staff Reporter
Riverside is changing where its police house people overnight who have been arrested. Village trustees approved an intergovernmental agreement with Berwyn Nov. 7 that will allow the Riverside Police Department to use the city’s lockup facilities to house its arrestees before Cook County takes custody of them. “The Berwyn Police Department is in close proximity to the Village of Riverside. They also have trained and certified lockup personnel that monitor individuals detained, which alleviates Riverside officers from having to do that,” Public Safety Director Matthew Buckley told trustees. “This will substantially decrease the amount of time that our officers spend processing and checking on detainees.”
