Civil Standby: The Somonauk Police Department will perform civil standby's (keep the peace), in situations such as when a landlord may be attempting to evict a tennant, an estranged husband or wife is attempting to collect their share of community property, or when a reposession agent is trying to take possession of a vehicle or other property. The department is there only to keep the peace, and, if necessary, to make an arrest if a criminal act arises between the involved parties. The mere presence of the department does in no way legitimize the lawfulness of the eviction of a tennant or the repossession of a vehicle or other property. If you require a civil standby, call the department at (815) 498-2351 to schedule an appointment. Civil standby's are done depending on staffing and officer availability. Civil standby's are limited to one-half (1/2) hour maximum. Anyone requiring a civil standby for longer than a one-half (1/2) hour time period will need to schedule the civil standby no less than five (5) days in advance and will be required to pay for the service up front at the current overtime rate of $29.25 per hour with a two (2) hour minimum.
