This burb is next door to Calumet Park and they have been also known to make Stone Park and Elburn seem like choir boys in comparison. They usually roll around in Crown Victorias but they have one LT-1 powered Caprice and an Expedition. The areas to watch are the following: 127th St between Winchester and Pulaski: As I stated in the description of the Calumet Park trap, these guys are known to assist Cal Park on occasion and the reverse is also true as I have seen Calumet Park cops and Blue Island nail motorists. Watch it around the bridge as they have been known to sit on the side streets bordering this bridge which starts at Winchester. Next is in the Jewel or Walgreens Parking lots after closing hours. Be especially careful around Greenwood St because the Police Station is on New and Greenwood. However, one thing that you will like about these cops is that they WILL ticket a train if it is taking too long to clear the tracks at 127th, 135th, and on Western past 139th. This town has been very tough on the trains in this area because of the proximity to St. Francis Hospital and the propensity of the trains to sit on the tracks for hours on end. But when there is no train to worry about, you STILL have something to be wary of. Blue Island is notorious for sitting on the side streets bordering both sets of tracks and they will radar traffic. Then after that, you have to worry about them sitting in the Burr Oak Bowling Lot, Eisenhower High School Lot, Pace "Kiss and Ride" Lot, and even the Citgo on Kedzie. Western: Very high enforcement here. I have seen "wolf packs" similar to the state police (1 car in Mc Donalds, 1 Car at the Charter One Bank, 2 across the street) around 119th and 120th. Plus, they are on rolling patrol 24/7/365. Watch the side streets. Vermont/119th: The main reason I put those two together is that they have a similar situation in speed traps. Watch out around the Metra stations in both areas. Vermont is worse because there are 3 places for the cops to hide as opposed to 2 on 119th St. Plus 119th near the Metra Station has a hill where speed can be built up easily and people will come off doing 35-40. Also watch the side streets as they will either sit or just appear out of nowhere.
