2020 Police Department Annual Report

CRIME RISK

The Cap Index is a methodology to measure crime risk expressed numerically with 100 being the national average. The CAP Index has been shown in numerous validation studies to be the single most useful indicator of site-specific serious crime risk. Many of the top 100 Fortune companies use Cap Index as a crime risk forecasting resource. As evidenced by department data and the Cap Index of 83 (17% below the national average for crime risk) for the Orland Square Mall, the Village of Orland Park continues to have a low crime rate within its designated retail zones, commercial areas and neighborhoods.

The Orland Square Mall is consistently one of the safest in-door malls in the Chicagoland area.
