Mokena Government & Civic Clubs

Mokena has made many improvements to village infrastructure to accommodate the community’s rapid growth, and is prepared for further expansion. Mokena’s administration focuses on coordinating growth with the best public services at a reasonable cost.

The Mokena Fire Protection District and the Village were recently awarded a Class 3 fire insurance rating, placing Mokena in the top five percent of rated communities in Illinois and the top three percent in the nation. This marks the second improvement in Mokena’s Fire Rating since 1998. The Frankfort and New Lenox Fire Districts also provide protection services to designated areas of the Village.

A call to the police emergency number or the department non-emergency number is answered by the Lincoln-Way Police Communications Center. The Center dispatches for the Mokena Police Department, providing a cost-effective method of handling public safety. The department offers a number of crime prevention services around the clock.

There are dozens of active groups in the area that have charters and members spanning many generations. Contact the Mokena Chamber of Commerce for more information regarding schedules, activities, and membership.

Mokena is also proud of its dedicated volunteer citizens who have received the Governor’s Hometown Award for Excellence through Volunteering. More than 100 residents volunteer on village committees and commissions such as the Planning and Zoning Commission, ESDA, Community Affairs Commission, Comprehensive Plan, Economic Development Commission, Electrical Commission, Police Commission, Police Pension Board, Cable Access League, Site Plan Review Committee, and Youth Commission.
