Marc Reid and Fred Hayes, two of the highest public pension recipients in the history of the Joliet Police Department, are taking over the top two leadership roles at the village of Elwood, Illinois. In February, the village board promoted Fred Hayes from its police chief to the position of village administrator. Reid and Hayes previously worked together at the same department. Prior to their promotions, Hayes made around $154,100 as chief of police and Reid, as police department commander, made nearly $110,180. Reid was demoted from Joliet police in 2018 and received a salary increase of nearly $18,000 during the week of his demotion.
