Brian Townsend runs a municipality that is a news desert with a Public Safety Transparency Issue (PTSI). Police department radios have been encrypted since June 2013, and fire department radios have been encrypted since October 2025 with no significant PIO/News Media Partnership, and no alternative methods to keep people informed regularly about public safety issues. Leadership is missing from the village manager, police chief and fire chief with no significant remedies to inform people how to reduce risks and reinforce good decisions to live safely, while the Village of Schaumburg and Northwest Central Dispatch System gather volumes and volumes of data on how crashes, fires, crimes, and other public safety incidents occur.
The Village Manager is responsible for all operations and services provided by the Village of Schaumburg.
