ILPOA Security, both land and water, responsibilities involve enforcing member approved Rules and Regulations. We have worked diligently to partner with Crawford County Sheriff’s Department (CCSD) to increase visibility through the CCSD Substation and Community Drive-throughs and support the Neighborhood Watch relaunch. In addition, through this partnership with CCSD, we gained a better understanding of what CCSD will respond to and what they cannot enforce in our community.

Below, with the help of the ILPOA Security Committee, we attempted to address many of the questions we receive and outline our focus areas for our Land and Water Security. Our struggle is the same as many other businesses in our area regarding the ability to hire capable and dependable employees to staff the security department.

If you have any questions regarding ILPOA Security please email the ILPOA Office at indianlake@ilpoa.org and Michelle will make sure someone from the Board or the ILPOA Security Committee will get back to you with the answers to your questions.
