After 26 years of service with Elgin PD, Chief Swoboda is retiring as he heads to Fort Collins CO Police Services to serve as their chief. With such a long career here in our city, we know many in the community wish to say goodbye and extend well-wishes.
With that in mind, the public is invited to Chief Swoboda's retirement ceremony that will be hosted in the Heritage Ballroom at The Centre of Elgin (100 Symphony Way) on May 31 at 3 p.m. We will be honoring his policing and leadership contributions, and his positive impact on our neighborhoods and city. We hope you will come extend your congratulations and support as he leaves to start a new and exciting chapter in his life.
