Summary

This ordinance proposes a new fee schedule for the Romeoville Police Department, specifically addressing the costs associated with investigating hit-and-run accidents. A manpower study indicates that investigating a single hit-and-run case requires approximately 18 hours of police and clerical time, costing an average of $787 per case. The study found that hit-and-run accidents in Romeoville are 60% higher than the national average for similar communities and have remained persistently high over the past five years. To offset these investigative costs, the Police Department recommends implementing a $750 fee for each reported hit-and-run incident.

Citizen Impact

Residents involved in hit-and-run accidents will now face a new $750 fee to cover the police department's investigative costs. This fee is in addition to any potential fines or penalties related to the accident itself.
