• Arlington Heights Police Chief Nick Pecora To Retire After 44 Years (patch.com) — Arlington Heights residents will soon see a change at the top of their police department, as Chief Nick Pecora plans to retire in November after 44 years with the village.

The village is launching a competitive search for his successor, with updates to be posted on its careers website.
• Reckless Firearm Discharge, Domestic Battery: Arlington Heights Police Blotter (patch.com) — Recent Arlington Heights police reports detail arrests for reckless firearm discharge, domestic battery, retail theft, DUI, and warrant violations, many involving village residents and familiar streets. Each person is charged, not convicted, with court dates set mostly in Rolling Meadows. The blotter offers a snapshot of current public safety issues affecting neighborhoods across Arlington Heights.
• Reflecting on progress: Suburban cycling infrastructure improvements have come a long way (dailyherald.com) — Cyclists near Arlington Heights will benefit from a new Elk Grove Village bridge over Arlington Heights Road, linking Busse Woods trail users to a major mixed-use development.
