Huntley detective named county’s Officer of the Year
Detective Joe Willard of the Huntley Police Department has been named McHenry County’s Officer of the Year for his work on an alleged insurance scam and recovering a gun that had been sold to a gang member.
In the first case, Willard spent months reviewing computer records and several file cabinets full of documents.
He determined a local insurance agent, Russell Palermo, had been taking payments from customers but not actually writing policies, Huntley Police Chief John Perkins said.
