DeKALB – Illinois State Police Col. David Byrd has been named DeKalb’s newest police chief for the DeKalb Police Department. Byrd will also become the city’s first Black police chief in its 135-year history.
“As soon as I put on that uniform, it’s time to go and I’ll be ready, so thank you for the opportunity,” Byrd said at Monday’s City Council meeting.
Byrd is a 31-year veteran of the Illinois State Police and was appointed as the deputy director for the Division of Patrol of the Illinois State Police in August 2020. Byrd has held several positions over the years including assistant deputy director for the Office of the Director, north region commander and commander of District Chicago.

DeKALB – DeKalb City Council will take up a consideration at Monday’s meeting for contractor bids for the painting and repairing of the south water tower, 2851 Corporate Drive.
City Manager Bill Nicklas is recommending the award of the city painting contract to Chicago-based painting company Era Valdivia, who has made a bid of $1 million, according to the March 8 City Council agenda.
Era Valdivia’s bid exceeds the fiscal year 2021 budget allocation of $850,000 by $214,270, but the Fund 620 budget could absorb the difference and maintain a positive fund balance for FY2021, according to the agenda.
The city released a request for bids for the second time on Dec. 11, a previous one was released on May 29, but several DeKalb residents raised concerns at a July 13 City Council meeting regarding the previous bidder, Seven Brothers. Residents were concerned with the Michigan Department of Labor investigations into the firm’s prevailing wage practices, as well
