FREE HELP: Chicago Police Department: (312) 742-5870

The Chicago Police Department does not typically handle animal complaints. Those are under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Animal Control at (708) 974-6140. But from time to time, in certain emergency situations, the police might help. But it's not being a good citizen to call the police about a wild animal problem. That is not the intended purpose of the Chicago police department. But if you're broke and desperate and you're used to calling the police to solve your problems for you, I guess no one can stop you. But you'd be better off simply leaving the animal alone, or solving the problem yourself, or using any of the other free Chicago resources to help. click here for FREE Chicago animal removal resources that aren't the police, such as the Cook County animal services, or the Illinois Wildlife Commission, or a Chicago Wildlife Rehabilitation clinic.
