New Village-to-Resident Notification System
East Hazel Crest is pleased to announce the launch of the Connect-CTY service, our new village-to-resident notification system. With this service, village leaders can send personalized voice messages to residents and businesses within minutes with specific information about time-sensitive or common-interest issues such as emergencies and local community matters. The Connect-CTY service will be used to supplement our current communication plans and augment public safety/first responder services.
Please accept our invitation to participate in this great service. We know that your personal information is important, and rest assured that we will not share it with anyone. If you have NOT already received a test phone call from us, or you would like to provide additional contact information, click the Connect-CTY image to sign up.

Medical Alert Program
Our 911 system allows Telecommunications Officers (TCO) to access a computer system that will provide information pertaining to anyone having a medical disability. This information is based upon an address and is cross-referenced by name. Such information may be useful to public safety personnel responding to a request for service at an address within East Hazel Crest. The program can include an identification bracelet for persons living within East Hazel Crest who are senior citizens of the age of 60 or older, or other persons who have medical disabilities. This bracelet contains an identification number that public safety personnel may use to contact the East Hazel Crest 911 Center to obtain information such as name, address, phone number, allergies, medical conditions, medications and persons to contact in the event of emergencies.
If you live within East Hazel Crest, you may obtain a 911 Identification Form from the East Hazel Crest Police or Fire Departments or the East Hazel Crest Village Clerk's Office. If you are unable to pick up a form in person, contact the Police Department Monday thru Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and an officer will bring the form to you. If you live within East Hazel Crest, you may ask for an identification bracelet at the time you turn the form in at the East Hazel Crest Police Department. The bracelet is free for persons living within East Hazel Crest. The Volunteer Fire Department Association is providing funding for the bracelets.
