Authorities raided the Harvey Police Department on Wednesday and removed materials, Illinois State Police said.
Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez, Illinois State Police public information officer, said his agency is assisting the Cook County state's attorney's office in the investigation.
However, Gutierrez said, he would not comment on what was seized.
Cook County state's attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin would not comment on the investigation.
With a subpoena, the Public Integrity Unit of the Illinois State Police entered the Harvey Police Department and confiscated specific police records, Harvey Mayor Eric Kellogg said in a written statement issued through city spokeswoman Sandra Alvarado.
"I stand in full support of the investigation and pledge full cooperation with the matter," he said. "As I have always stated, if there is any findings of misconduct of any of our officers or employees, I will push for the immediate termination of the individual or individuals involved.
"Corruption and police misconduct is not and will not be tolerated by any means."
