ROCKFORD – Illinois State Police (ISP) Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 2 Special Agents submitted additional criminal charges for an ongoing home fraud and theft investigation involving 35-year-old Corey Roser of Rockford, IL.
The Rockford Police Department (RPD) requested ISP investigate the on-duty and off-duty business practices of Roser, a Rockford police officer, for multiple alleged offenses committed in 2024 and 2025. RPD placed Roser on administrative leave at the onset of the investigation, and he remained on leave throughout the investigation. In February, ISP’s investigation led to Roser being charged with five counts of Theft of Property over $500, but less than $10,000 (Class 3 Felony), four counts of Home Repair Fraud (Class 4 Felony), and one count of Official Misconduct (Class 3 Felony) in Winnebago County. New victims and evidence were discovered after his initial arrest and he has now also been charged with two counts of Theft by Deception (Class 3 Felony), and one count of Burglary (Class 2 Felony) for incidents in McHenry and DeKalb counties.
