Village Of Phoenix Il
A Spirit Of Friendship, That Welcomes You.
Welcome to the village of Phoenix web site. Phoenix is a small community located about six miles south of the city of Chicago. We are nestled between two larger towns of South Holland to the east and Harvey to the West.
The town was established in 1900 and was named after the mythical bird that sprung from the ashes in Egyptian mythology. With the founding of our community in 1900, it makes us one of the oldest communities in the Southland. Our nickname is nine blocks which comes close to describing the size of our town.
Residents who live here have done so for generations, it’s a town where Everybody Knows your Name. When you visit Phoenix, you will experience a Spirit of Friendship like no other. If you are ever in the South suburbs, please pay us a visit we would love to see you.

Commander Demond Warfield
Meet Demond Warfield, the Commander of the Internal Affairs Division. Demond has extensive law enforcement experience and leads investigations into police corruption and official misconduct. Additionally, he oversees firearms and secondary weapons training within the department.
After graduating from high school, Demond continued the family tradition by enlisting in the military. After giving it much thought, he opted to join the most elite branch, the United States Marine Corps. Throughout his military career, Demond took on various roles, from serving as a basic rifleman to working as an analyst with a secret clearance to handle sensitive information. Additionally, he had the opportunity to experience combat with the Marines.
Upon receiving an honorable discharge from the Marines, Demond returned home and transitioned back to civilian life. Demond had known since he was a kid that he wanted to be in the public safety field. He then joined his local fire department and became a firefighter, obtaining his certification and becoming an emergency medical technician (EMT). After a few years there, Demond knew this was not the end of his public safety career, so he joined the Phoenix Police Department. After successfully graduating from the law enforcement academy, Demond quickly learned about the streets and all that came with policing. After gaining greater knowledge, Demond began to apply and rise through the ranks, achieving the current rank he holds today, Commander.
