About us
Northern Illinois Scanner Incidents is a Facebook News & Media Page that was created on September 19, 2019. The goal for the page was to provide alerts of incidents to keep the public safe during an active incident in the areas we cover. We also promote the good things about public service that are rarely seen or covered in a typical news story.
