Bull Valley P.D. - in a new spotlight

Gus Philpott
The Woodstock Advocate
October 5, 2015


A reader posted a comment to a two-year-old article about the Bull Valley P.D., and the comment draws attention to the habits and procedures of the Bull Valley Police Department.

The comment doesn't deserve to get hidden where it would probably never be read, so ...

Check out the Facebook page called "Justice from Bull Valley Police Department". Retain the spacing shown; don't run all the words together.

And check out the video of a recent meeting in Bull Valley. I haven't watched it all the way through. If it is of interest to you, you can watch all of it. It was posted to the Facebook page on October 3, 2015.

At the beginning, it seems to me that the woman at the front left is clearly uncomfortable with the recording being made of the meeting.

I remember hearing stories of drivers getting stopped for 2-3MPH over the posted speed limit. A former police chief told me his officers never stopped anyone for less than 10MPH over the limit. It was all I could do to keep from laughing.

What has your own experience been with Bull Valley Police? Most local McHenry County residents know to obey traffic laws exactly in Bull Valley. Actually, that's not a bad idea. But is Bull Valley PD's enforcement too aggressive? Is the vehicle impoundment law being properly applied?

Has traffic enforcement changed at all in the past 3-4 years?
