The new top cop in Round Lake Park is a 24-year department veteran well versed in the responsibilities that come with the post.
As deputy chief, Daniel Burch worked closely with his predecessor, George Filenko, who retired Feb. 19 after serving as chief since 1999. The village board on Tuesday approved Burch as Mayor Linda Lucassen s choice to lead the department.
Burch is the third chief in 26 years after Bruce Johnson and Filenko. The transition is expected to be seamless. Dan was a tremendous asset to me personally and to the department, Filenko said. We worked as partners.

Round Lake Park Police Chief George Filenko will retire Feb. 18 after 37 years in law enforcement.
Filenko, 64, became the chief of Round Lake Park s department in August 1999. While he was chief, he worked for Lake County s Major Crimes Task Force for 11 years and served as its commander for six, investigating more than 200 homicides during his tenure.
He grew up in Chicago s Humboldt Park neighborhood and worked part time as Hainesville s police chief before joining Round Lake Park as a part-time officer. He attended the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy at College of DuPage and rose through the ranks to eventually become Round Lake Park s chief.

vessels ruptured in the superficial surface of the skin. these are the capillaries that are easily damaged. the fatal catastrophic gunshot wound as chief filenko said was in the left upper chest. it was located approximately two inches between below the collar of the bulletproof vest. therefore the gun had to be placed in such an angle that the gun was close to the chest. it went under the vest at a 40-degree angle which was confirmed by the trajectory of the bullet. it hit the pulmonary artery causing massive blood loss, approximately 1,200 ccs which would be equivalent to a little less than three pints of blood. as this officer is bleeding internally, the lung is collapsing. blood is filling up in to the lung. the bullet then hits the region
