Bourbonnais Police Chief Phelps retiring but staying on

BOURBONNAIS — Bourbonnais Police Chief Jim Phelps will retire next year after 31 years with the department.
However, he won’t be packing up his belongings and leaving. The 56-year-old Phelps will remain on the force as chief.
Phelps said his retirement was dictated by the current pension system.
After reaching the age of 55 and achieving 31 years of service, benefits could be reduced if he didn’t retire.
Phelps has been with the Bourbonnais department for 31 years. Before joining Bourbonnais, Phelps worked as a deputy with the DeWitt County Sheriff’s Department for two years.
Mayor Paul Schore and the trustees want to keep Phelps as chief.
