Photo & Video Policy On occasion, the District staff or contractors may take pictures or video footage of participants in our programs, or of people in the District’s parks. These pictures may be used for the Park

-motion. Residents are encouraged to submit photos for the Park District to use in its informational materials.

Vandalism Each year, vandalism costs the Park District thousands of dollars. Higher costs of maintenance, repair and clean up of park areas can be avoided only with your help. Should you see vandalism occurring, please call the Vernon Hills Police at (847) 362-4449.

Discipline A positive approach is used regarding discipline. Staff peri-odically reviews rules with participants during programs. If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt resolution will be sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline. The Park Dis-trict reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions endanger the safety of himself.

Park District Police Through a cooperative agreement with the Village of Vernon Hills, all parks and park facilities are policed by the Vernon Hills Police Department. Police are radio dispatched and may be sum-moned by calling (847) 362-4449.

Speakers Bureau Local groups are encouraged to invite our staff to your meetings to speak about Park District happenings. Contact Cheryl Baron at (847) 996-6933.
