Law enforcement is an honorable and noble profession. We expect all those who represent our agency, both sworn and civilian, to exhibit the highest level of professionalism. Our goal will be to provide the best public safety possible and maintain a partnership with the community we serve and protect.

Late
in the night of May 29, 2007 Aurora Township resident Leslie Fleming heard
a commotion outside his home. He awoke and saw a light on at his neighbor's
house. Mr. Fleming walked over to his neighbor's house and saw someone
inside. Mr. Flemming reached through a basement window and pulled the
man outside and held him down until Sheriff's Deputies arrived. Unfortunately
deputies discovered that Mr. Fleming's 83 year old neighbor, Roscoe Ebey
had been murdered in his bedroom.
Mr. Ebey was a decorated World War II military veteran and a popular member of his neighborhood. In honor of Mr. Ebey Sheriff Perez created the Kane County Sheriff's Department citizen of the year award. It was only fitting that Mr. Leslie Fleming was the first recipient of this award. It was the selfless actions of Mr. Fleming that led to the capture of the person who was charged in the murder of Mr. Ebey. Mr. Flemming never thought of himself as a hero, he was just doing what neighbors do for each other.
Throughout the year Sheriff Perez encourages citizens to nominate one of their own for being proactive and making a difference in their community. When citizens are willing make a commitment to step forward and make a difference in their communities everyone benefits. It is with this in mind that Sheriff Perez wants to formally recognize those persons who truly make a difference.
To nominate someone for the Kane County Sheriff's Department citizen of the year award please call (630) 208-2003.
