Editing North Aurora, Illinois (section)

== Public services ==

=== Schools ===
School-age children in North Aurora attend five public schools in the [[West Aurora Public School District 129]], regardless of which side of the river they live on, with the exception of a few dozen homes in the far northeastern section of the village, in which the children attend [[Batavia, Illinois#Education|Batavia School District 101]]. North Aurora's own district was absorbed into its neighbor, Aurora, in the early 1960s.

=== Police ===
The village has 28 police officers with one chief and two deputy chiefs. After decades of sharing the same space as the village hall, the village constructed a new police headquarters at 200 S Lincolnway Street (IL Rt 31) in 2010. While an independent entity, there is some limited dependency on the Aurora Police Department; for example, calling the North Aurora police when the front desk is unattended will result in the call being answered by the Aurora Police Department 911 Center.

=== Fire department ===
The North Aurora Fire Protection District covers North Aurora. Station #1 opened in 1963 at the corner of State and Monroe and Station #2 opened on March 16, 2007, at 2201 Tanner Road. Village Ordinance #21 created and chartered North Aurora Village Fire Department in 1908 as a [[Volunteer fire department|volunteer]] service. On July 7, 1958, the department was renamed the North Aurora and Countryside Fire Protection District to cover areas outside of the village limits. On November 1, 1993, the district hired a fire chief as its first full-time employee and a month later hired two full-time firefighters.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.nafd.org/about.htm |title= About |website= North Aurora Fire Protection District |access-date= September 4, 2016 }}</ref>
