2020 Police Department Annual Report

The Orland Park Police Department has seen immense growth and modernization through its decorated history. Long gone are the days of lighting the street lamps, powering up the water pumps, and borrowing part-time Chief Olsen’s personal vehicle to patrol the streets if one of the two squad cars was in for repair. Today, the Orland Park Police Department has a Chief of Police, a Deputy Chief, three Commanders (Administration and Technical Services, Investigations, and Patrol), six Lieutenants, nine Sergeants, and three civilian supervisors who oversee 189 civilian and sworn personnel.
