MISSION STATEMENT

INTEGRITY Integrity is defined as being honest, moral, upright and sincere. We believe that integrity is the basis for community trust; therefore, we can only serve effectively to the extent that we are credible, individually, as a department, and as a profession. We lead by example in both our professional and private lives and strive to serve as role models for the community. The high level of integrity of our employees is the very foundation of the Orland Park Police Department. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP We see the community in a partnership role; our citizens are our partners as well as our clients. Dedicated to professional service, we are constantly striving to work with the community to solve problems. We actively solicit citizen participation in the development of police activities and programs that impact their neighborhood. The department gives a high priority to crime prevention and community safety and is committed to implementing those practices that afford greater contact between the police and the community.

COMMUNITY PROBLEM ORIENTED POLICING

The Orland Park Police Department is committed to an open and honest relationship with the people of the community. Department members shall uphold laws in an ethical, impartial, courteous and professional manner while respecting the rights and dignity of all persons. We shall strive to achieve a balance between enforcement and community needs that reflect both the spirit and the letter of the law.

The mission of the Orland Park Police Department is to enhance the quality of life for the people and families within our community by providing professional, high quality and effective police service in partnership with the people. We, the members of the Orland Park Police Department believe that our work has a vital impact on the quality of life in our community. To demonstrate our dedication to our profession and our community, we commit ourselves to the following values:

COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES

The department recognizes that its employees are the vital component to the successful delivery of police services. We believe we can achieve our highest potential by actively involving our employees in problem solving, and the development and implementation of programs. We strive to achieve an environment of mutual respect and trust. The department recognizes and supports academic achievement of employees and promotes their pursuit of higher education.

PROFESSIONALISM AND DEDICATION

We are committed to the development and maintenance of a force of well-trained, thoroughly professional employees that are dedicated to public service and protection to the people of the Village of Orland Park. The department shall continue to provide reinforcement and support to those employees who offer contributions to a work environment that reflects dedication to department values.

no homicide or rape incidents. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of each member of the Orland Park Police Department and our strong relationship with the private sector and commitment to work collaboratively in protecting persons and businesses against crime. This significant achievement is equally remarkable when considering that in 2020, retail businesses and malls throughout Orland Park were ordered closed for 10 weeks by a Governor’s Executive Order. In 2021 with no mandated closings and continuing to remain open, the incidents of theft still decreased by almost 11%. This decrease is directly attributable to a joint effort by Simon Properties and the Orland Park Police Department to implement the Orland Square Mall Youth Supervision Program (YSP) which curbs crime and behavioral misconduct by unaccompanied juveniles at the mall. There were no incidents of retail theft or code of conduct violations during the execution of this first of its kind program in the Simon Properties portfolio. Additional benefits associated with the YSP are that, when compared to 2019 data, the 2021 sales receipts at Orland Square Mall rose by 3% and the dwell time, or amount of time that shoppers spent on average inside the mall, increased by approximately 5.5%. As in past years, the Department’s 2021 clearance rates on violent crimes far surpassed the FBI’s calculated National and Midwest Clearance averages. Additionally, as further evidence of the outstanding proactive work of the men and women of the Department, the website “MoneyGeek” analyzed crime statistics by quantifying the cost of crime in ranking small cities and towns across the entire nation and determined that the Village of Orland Park is the 8th safest small town in the United States. The year of 2021, was certainly not without its challenges. The Orland Park Police Department, along with police departments throughout the nation, continued to struggle to find qualified candidates to enter the noble profession of law enforcement. In addition, the number of firearm arrests continued to climb substantially as the Department increased the resources allocated to tactical positions.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

Mayor Pekau, Trustees, Village Manager and the Residents of Orland Park,

Although COVID-19 again dominated in 2021, and the Orland Park Police Department had to adjust to “the new world,” we did so while continuing to remain steadfast in our commitment to our core mission of protecting the safety of the residents, visitors and businesses of Orland Park. While facing the considerable risk of contracting COVID-19 with its more contagious variants, our spirited employees continued to serve the Village of Orland Park with professionalism and dedication. The 2021 Annual Report provides a summary that is the evidence of that dedication. Despite the constant challenges that we faced throughout the year relating to a global pandemic, political discourse towards law enforcement and the national movement to defund the police, the men and women of the Orland Park Police Department valiantly fulfilled its mission of protecting the community. Provided below are just a few of the many noteworthy accomplishments of the Orland Park Police Department in 2021, which are highlighted throughout the annual report. As property and violent crime rose to record levels throughout the Chicagoland area, by contrast, crime in the Village of Orland Park fell to the lowest number of index crimes in 27 years with an overall 9.2% decrease when compared to the 2020 crime statistics. Violent crime also fell by 24% with

I would like to thank Former Police Chief Joseph Mitchell for his years of 27 years of dedicated service to the Village of Orland Park. We wish you the best of luck as you move toward your future endeavors.

In conclusion, I would like to thank all members of the Orland Park Police Department for the tireless and exceptional work they performed throughout the year despite all the challenges that 2021 presented. Finally, thank you to our elected officials for your continuous and unwavering support that ensures the Orland Park Police Department has the resources to address the public safety needs of our supportive and cherished community.

Sincerely,

Eric Rossi Chief of Police

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, ten Sergeants, and three civilian supervisors who oversee 189 civilian and sworn personnel. With an authorized strength of 101 full-time sworn officers and 23 part time officers, the department is capable of answering the community’s needs efficiently and effectively through the three divisions, many specialized units and numerous community based programs. In October 2014, the Orland Park Police Department had undergone an onsite assessment by two independent assessors from the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) to determine if the department met the rigorous requirements for Tier II Accreditation

from the Illinois Chiefs of Police. At the conclusion of the inspection, the assessors described the “Orland Park Police Department as a leader in law enforcement.” Additionally, the assessors “found the staff to be dedicated, well trained, and highly educated. The facilities, were clean, modern, well equipped and at the leading edge of technology.” On January 15, 2015, the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Council unanimously awarded Tier II Accreditation to the Orland Park Police Department. In 2022, we look forward to renewing our Tier II Accreditation. The Orland Park Police Department is pleased to report that both the 2021 reported Index Crimes, as well as the crime rate per 1,000 residents, were the lowest they have been in the last 27 years.

extremely successful. The MCRU consists of mental health professionals from Trinity Services who co-respond, in person or virtually, with Orland Park Police Department Crisis Intervention Team officers to mental health calls throughout the Village. 2021 continued to be a challenging year with the ongoing International Covid-19 pandemic. Several training classes for officers and many community-based initiatives had to be canceled. Despite this fact, the department was able to achieve its 2021 strategic goals. As evidenced by the programs, initiatives, activities and individual efforts described throughout the remainder of this report, the men and women of the Orland Park Police Department are committed to providing the most effective and efficient services to the community that it proudly serves.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In the second year of use, the federal grant-funded mental health Mobile Crisis Response Unit (MCRU) has been

INDEX CRIME OFFENSE ANALYSIS (2017 - 2021)

Index crimes consists of ten crimes the FBI combines to produce its annual crime index. These offenses include homicide, forcible rape (criminal sexual assault), robbery, burglary, aggravated assault/battery, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, human trafficking – commercial sex acts and human trafficking - involuntary servitude. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is comprised of two classifications of crime reporting. Part I crimes that include serious felonies and Part II crimes are categorized as non-serious felonies and misdemeanors. This methodology allows for uniformity in conducting regional or nationwide comparisons of statistical crime data.

AGAINST PERSONS:

35 20 26 25 19 25

The Orland Park Police Department makes most of its comparisons based on averages rather than the examination of year-to-year because crime can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Comparing yearly rather than taking an average over a period of five years limits your ability to determine if the department had an unusually high or low year of crime.

TRINITY SERVICES REFERRALS & TREATMENTS

In September of 2019, the Orland Park Police Department was awarded a $744,039.00 federal grant from the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance.

In 2021, the Orland Park Police Department responded to two hundred seventy four (274) mental health related calls for service. Sixty-six (66) males and fifty-two (52) females were transported for a psychiatric evaluation. Of the 118 committals performed, 39% were non-residents and only four (4) individuals had been committed for a psychiatric evaluation in previous years.

The three-year grant has allowed the Orland Park Police Department, in partnership with Trinity Services, to develop and implement a Mobile Crisis Response Unit (MCRU). The MCRU is comprised of OPPD Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) police officers and Licensed Mental Health Clinicians from Trinity Services.

The Village of Orland Park uses Trinity Services to provide counselling services for residents and non-residents who would benefit from their service.

MCRU clinicians co-respond, in person or virtually, with OPPD CIT officers to mental health related calls for service throughout Orland Park twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week.

The MCRU began responding to calls in October, 2020, and already has resulted in a 30% decrease in the number of individuals in crisis who were transported to a hospital emergency room. Individuals were instead connected with treatment providers to assist them with their situation. This decreased the amount of time officers spent on the calls and allowed the officers to resume active patrol of the community more quickly.

JUVENILE INCIDENTS Juvenile related calls for service resulting in a contact or an arrest saw a 34% decrease from 2020 and was at the lowest in five years. The D.A.R.E. program returned to normal function reaching over 900 students in 2021, after suffering a reduction in attendance due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

In 2021, members of the patrol division administered NARCAN to three (3) subjects in respiratory depression from an overdose of opioids. The individuals survived due to the dispensing of the lifesaving medication to reverse the effects of opioids.
