 Chief Cunningham's Bio

Brian Cunningham became chief of the Woodridge Police Department in November of 2016. Prior to that, he was Deputy Chief at the Naperville Police Department. Cunningham, who was also directing the Investigations Division of his department in Naperville, has been working in law enforcement for three decades. Brian Cunningham studied at Governor's State University to obtain his bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice before attending Northwestern University Staff and Command, the Colorado State University Rocky Mountain Leadership Course, and the Senior Management Institute for Policing at Boston University.

 That doesn't end his list of accolades, though; Cunningham is also a member of the Woodridge Honor Guard Unit and the International Association of Chiefs of Police, is a founding member and current president of the Illinois Homicide Investigators Association, is an Executive Board Member of DuPage County Police of Chiefs, and has been an adjunct professor at the College of DuPage.

 Chief Cunningham, since coming to Woodridge, has initiated a school program called GRIT, in place of the DARE program. The GRIT program helps kids develop strategies for dealing with disappointments and difficult situations. He also participates in the Village Leadership Academy, the Citizens Police Academy, and community roll call meetings. In November of 2019, he participated in a public meeting sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Downers Grove, Woodridge, and Lisle about the Firearms Restraining Order—what it is, and how it works.
