Cash Register Information (Optional)
Law Enforcement often discover cash registers believed to be taken in burglaries. Often times these crimes go unsolved when there is no way of tracking the cash register back to a specific victim. The Channahon Police Department is taking the initiative of proactively collecting this information in the unlikely event your business is the victim of a burglary where the cash register is taken. This is optional, but if you choose not to provide this information we ask that you please gather this information on your own and keep it in a safe place where it can be readily obtained if needed.
