Join PS3 / Personnel

If you would like to become one of the proud members who make up the South Holland Public Safety Support Services:

First: Pick up a PS3 application from South Holland Village Hall at 16226 Wausau Avenue or fill out the application online and email it to the email address located on the application.

Second: Sign the enclosed background authorization form in the application and bring the completely filled out application to the South Holland Village Hall.

Third: In a few weeks, you will be contacted by Director Mark Van Kley or a representative from the Human Resources Department to set up an interview. After the interview is done and you are picked to continue with the hiring process is when the background check will be done. Once we receive the background back is when you will be offered an official position.

Finally: Now you are ready to become a member.

To be a member, you must:

  1. Be in good health and have a valid drivers license with a clear driving record.
  2. Have a clear criminal record and be a good person.
  3. Be willing to give your time to assist the Village of South Holland and respond to “CALLS for assistance needed” Assistance calls can come at all hours of the day or night. (Exceptions to this rule are made for persons who cannot leave work or school.) All members are expected to respond to at least 40% of all call outs, pre-planned events, and out of town assistance to other towns.
  4. Be able to attend monthly PS3 meetings, which are the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm; and be available for PS3 training.
  5. Members are also allowed to serve as the extra eyes and ears of the Police Department through routine Village patrols.
