City of Police Department phone 815.338.6787 John L. Lieb, Chief of Police fax 815.334.2275 656 Lake Avenue [email protected] Woodstock, Illinois 60098 www.woodstockil.gov To: Mr. Roscoe C. Stelford III, City Manager From: John L. Lieb, Chief of Police Re: Retirement - Recognizing the Service of Jeffrey G. Parsons Date: June 7th, 2021 (June 15th, 2021 City Council Meeting) This correspondence is a request for the City Council to take a few moments to recognize recently-retired Deputy Chief Jeffrey G. Parsons for his years of service to the citizens of the City of Woodstock, Illinois. Jeff Parsons served the City of Woodstock and the Woodstock Police Department for more than twenty four years in various capacities. Starting his WPD career on February 17th, 1997, Jeff served approximately fourteen years both as a Patrol Officer and Detective prior to being promoted to Patrol Sergeant in May, 2011. In early 2012, Jeff was appointed as the Detective Sergeant to lead the Investigations Division; a division that excelled under his command. Because of his extended number of years serving in the Investigations Division, it should be noted that Jeff played a role in resolving many of this city’s major criminal cases during that time. By 2016, he earned the appointment to Deputy Chief. From 2016 to 2021, Deputy Chief Parsons was responsible for traditional administrative duties, as well as, an array of initiatives. Without question, his insight in Administration on a wide range of topics was invaluable. During his career with Woodstock PD, Jeff also took on additional responsibilities such as Range Master, Field Training Officer, Bicycle Officer, and liaison to D200 while serving as Detective Sergeant. He participated in numerous volunteer/community events such as the DEA Drug Take Back events, “Coffee with the Chief” programs as a guest speaker, Woodstock Area Crime Stoppers, Shop With A Cop events, Misericordia basketball outings, Christmas Clearing House, Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Runs, F.O.P. Teen Dances, and the Summer In The Park – Teen Dance. Along with a multitude of certifications, he is one of the few active Sworn Officers that holds a Master’s Degree, as well as, is a graduate of the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety School of Police Staff and Command, and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy. Additionally, it is imperative to note that Jeff was devoutly supported throughout his entire Woodstock police career by his wife, Manychan, and his two children, Tyler and Alyssa. Woodstock is proud to have been recognized as a 2007 Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation Deputy Chief Jeff Parsons dedicated nearly a quarter of a century of his life to devoted service to the Woodstock Police Department and the Woodstock community. Without hesitation, I am proud to say that I have served with Jeff Parsons, and will always have the deepest regard for him as a fellow law enforcement officer and proud American citizen. His honorable service speaks well of himself, his family, the Woodstock Police Department, and the City of Woodstock. The entirety of the Woodstock Police Department wishes Jeff Parsons well as he begins his next chapter of life as the Chief of Police for the Village of Pingree Grove. Therefore, I recommend that the City Council approve the request to honor former Deputy Chief Jeffrey G. Parsons for his more than 24 years of service with the Woodstock Police Department in the pursuit of safety and security for the citizens of the City of Woodstock, Illinois. John L. Lieb Chief of Police MINUTES WOODSTOCK CITY COUNCIL June 1, 2021 City Council Chambers A regular meeting of the Woodstock City Council was called to order at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, by Mayor Michael Turner in the Council Chambers at Woodstock City Hall.

Over the decades it has been the typewriter- manufacturing capital of America, a boyhood home of Orson Welles, the source of the famous “Dick Tracy” comic strip, and the place where the 1993 movie Groundhog Day was filmed. It prides itself both on its rural appeal – McHenry County is mostly agricultural – and urban sophistication, for the Loop is only a 90-minute Metra ride away. The community’s preeminent civic asset is Woodstock Square, a two-acre public common surrounded by historic buildings, most dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Among them are two of special note: the Old McHenry County Courthouse, built in 1857, one of the few remaining pre-Civil War courthouses in Illinois; and the 1889 Woodstock Opera House, which originally housed all the City offices, the police and fire departments, the public library, and an auditorium.
