South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force
The Summit Police Department would like to keep you informed as to the resources that are available to it to better serve the community. Part of our work model is to participate in specialized units that provide expertise and manpower when a situation arises that requires more resources that are on hand to accomplish the goal. We will be informing you of the Task Forces that we belong to and the purpose they serve. Currently our Detective Keough serves as a supervisor on the task force and responds to calls for assistance when there is an activation. Thank you for your ongoing support.
