Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
The Zion Board of Fire and Police Commissioners was created by Zion City Ordinance No. 1131 in 1957. The Board derives its authority from the Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-1 et seq., “Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.” The function of the Board is to conduct competitive testing for entry-level sworn Fire and Police positions and establish an appointment eligibility list. The Board also conducts promotional testing and participates in disciplinary matters.
The Board consists of three members, as provided by law, who serve three-year staggered terms. Members are appointed by the Mayor, with the consent of the Zion City Council. They are citizen volunteers serving without compensation. By State law, no municipal officer or relative of an elected official may be appointed to the Board.
The Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Zion Police Department, 2101 Salem Blvd., Zion, Illinois. Additional meetings are scheduled as needed.
For further information, contact Sarah Maciareillo, Recording Secretary, at (847) 379-8320 or SarahM@zion.il.us.
