Enhancement of the Investigative Targeted Response Unit (TRU). The Investigations Division has relegated the duties of a Retail Crime Specialist to the TRU unit with the addition of a TRU Unit Sergeant. The TRU Unit Sergeant is to coordinate and oversee the daily activities of the TRU Unit. The proactive assignment of the TRU officers can be incorporated into everyday activities of the department in an effort to combat commonly reported criminal activity.

DIVISION FUNCTIONS

Through new community outreach endeavors, we will create ways to positively engage with a section of the community that may only deal with the police while in crisis. Through donations and active participation, we will partner with local outreach programs in a coordinated effort to help break down barriers, build stronger relationships and a level of trust that is difficult to develop during routine police interaction.

PURPOSE

The function of the Investigative Service Division includes conducting follow-up investigations on criminal and quasi-criminal activity and conducting liquor license and employment background investigations. Other functions of the Investigative Services Division include: • Provide drug interdiction, education and enforcement activities, programs and initiatives. • Provide crime prevention and community relations activities, programs and training. • Coordinate efforts related to major case investigations and regional task forces. • Provide an enhanced problem oriented policing response in addressing neighborhood conflicts and other unusual community/individual problems. • Maintain a registration and investigate compliance on mandatory sex offender registrants. • Provide an enhanced response or support to victims of domestic violence and elder abuse.

PURPOSE

To allow the police department to continue in its primary function uninterrupted by increasing the ranks of ESDA by 10% to handle ancillary duties (i.e. traffic control, road closures and power outages).

The primary focus of TRU is demonstrating a proactive, problem solving initiative consistent with the mission of the department. TRU will address street crime and quality of life issues in order to improve public safety and enhance the overall quality of life in Orland Park. Additionally, TRU will be on the front line of proactive policing through the pursuit of known offenders, focusing on retail crime trends and offenders while providing support to the Criminal Investigations and Patrol Divisions.
