O'Fallon Police Department

Members of O'Fallon PD braved the rainy weather on Monday to complete our leg of the 2026 Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics intra-state relay. Law Enforcement agencies run the Torch through cities throughout the state to raise awareness for the Athletes of Special Olympics Illinois.

All the Torches will come together at Illinois State University this weekend for the annual Summer Games. We wish all the Athletes competing good luck and safe travels!

Last night (06/07/26) residents saw a large police presence in the area of Edgewood Dr. in the Timber Creek subdivision, that was in reference to a subject fleeing a traffic stop from another agency. This morning, an attentive resident alerted OPD of a suspicious subject walking out of the creek in the area appearing out of place. OPD units responded and successfully took the subject into custody and transferred custody to the Illinois State Police. There are no ongoing concerns for citizens in the Timber Creek area. We want to thank the citizens that called for reporting suspicious activity, teamwork at its finest!
